Taylor provided extraordinary nursing care and skills while intervening on behalf of an infant patient who was being shaken by their caregiver. Taylor heard the baby crying and was alarmed at the length of the cry. She checked in on the baby and saw the caregiver shaking it violently. The nurse put herself between the caregiver and the baby to protect them and prevent further shaking. She followed all the proper steps to ensure the patient had a safe stay for the remainder of the admission. Many coworkers said after the event “Thank God she walked in when she did, such a God send. She handled it amazingly well. We are proud to work alongside her!
