Amber quickly recognized something was amiss when caring for a patient after surgery. She alerted the doctor that the patient was showing signs of a pulmonary embolism. The doctor agreed with Amber's recommendations and ordered the appropriate testing. Amber remained extremely calm and composed all throughout this situation and acted with the utmost speed and competency. With Amber's quick thinking and responsiveness, she was able to ensure that her patient received the best possible treatment.
The week prior, Amber was also quick to recognize a cardiac issue a patient was experiencing and took rapid action. Amber is an excellent nurse and she always puts the patients first, no matter who is in charge of their care. She never fails to respond to bathroom lights or bed alarms for all patients and even call lights when she knows her coworkers are busy. Amber always takes time out of her busy day to make sure everyone around her is taken care of. She is the epitome of a Sarah Bush Lincoln nurse with a commitment to excellence.
