Jenna may have saved her leg.
Jenna advocated amazingly for her patient for two days in a row. This patient was discharged and cleared by all, but Jenna prevented her from going home due to concerns about perfusion to her leg. Jenna started advocating for this person first thing in the morning, ensuring that doctors were aware of the severity of the situation. The patient had emergency vascular surgery the next day on her limb, and Jenna may have saved her leg. She is such a kind, caring, and attentive nurse, and she deserves recognition. She is also a pleasure to work with, aside from being one heck of a nurse.
