Joni is more than just a house supervisor. She is my mentor, shoulder to cry on, counselor, and a great person to debrief with after a trauma. One night, I had a little girl who needed to be sedated for an ortho reduction. Joni had come to the ED just making her rounds but noticed the MD was causing my anxiety to escalate, so she asked me if I wanted her to stick around for a bit. All of the stress and anxiety washed away, and I found peace. And that’s always how I feel with Joni around. And she did stick around for me, even though she had an ENTIRE HOSPITAL TO RUN! She pushed the medications for sedation while I documented and then after to make sure there wasn’t anything else I needed. Also, later that evening, she came back to the ER, and we debriefed and talked about the situation, the pros and cons, and things to improve on moving forward. She is a phenomenal leader, nurse, and friend. I am truly blessed to have her guide us during the night, and I want her to know that all of her hard work doesn’t go unnoticed. Thank you, Joni, for all you do hospital-wide but also for little ole me :)
