​​​​​​​She will make a great nurse wherever she chooses to be, but I hope she chooses critical care because she would be a great fit.
Madison is in the ICU at HonorHealth John C. Lincoln Hospital for her Transition to Practice. Her preceptor shared this feedback.

From our first shift, she was willing to jump in and take the initiative. She researches disease processes between tasks and suggests nursing treatments for patients. She has been giving report to our intensivists at the start of shift, which is no easy task and she has been charting completely on 1-2 patients, depending on how complex they are. She has also been receiving and giving report to the morning nurse. She's placed NG tubes, a catheter, and a couple of IVs (first try by the way), using excellent aseptic technique and patient communication, leaving the patients relaxed and feeling comfortable. She gets along with the other nurses and some of them have taken it upon themselves to ask for her help during procedures and with other nursing interventions.

She has demonstrated a knowledge of critical medications, the pharmacokinetics of these drugs. Outside of our TTP, she has been researching critical care and coming to me with questions, a few of which have stumped me. I have had to go to our charge nurse or intensivist for more information. She remains curious and active throughout the shift, which sometimes feels near-impossible on night shift.

She will make a great nurse wherever she chooses to be, but I hope she chooses critical care because she would be a great fit. It has been a pleasure to be able to teach and also learn quite a bit from her. I couldn't have enough good things to say about her.
