My son H was admitted to the ER after having multiple seizures. H needed an IV for his treatment. After 3-4 attempts, my son still had no IV and was really shaken up after all of the failed attempts. My wife and I were told that someone from the NICU would be down to try to insert the IV. After a few short minutes, Briana showed up in the ER.
Briana immediately recognized H from his prior stay in the NICU. Briana assured my wife and me that H was in good hands and took control of the situation. Briana was able to insert the IV on the first try and made our son comfortable and happy.
Briana used great personal skills to make us feel at ease and outstanding technical skills to insert the IV in a high pressure situation! Thank you so much!
