She seeks out every opportunity to learn new skills, new diagnoses, and how to better herself overall as a Healthcare giver.
HN Ritter and I have collaborated on 2East Pediatrics for the past eight months. In that time, I've watched her develop into an excellent HN who strives to be the best she can be. She has made a difference not only in the care of her patients and their families but also in the care of being a team player and coworker. She exhibits an excellent level of professionalism and attentiveness to detail with all her patients and coworkers. All families like her.
I have had several parents mention how she took the time to explain everything and how she put them at ease, especially if they had to leave the floor. She seeks out every opportunity to learn new skills, new diagnoses, and how to better herself overall as a Healthcare giver. Her commitment to her patient's and families' well-being has made a significant impact on our night team. Because of her attention to detail, she caught two incorrect medication dosages, brought them to the attention of the doctors as well as the charge, and made sure new orders were written. Her kindness and commitment to excellence shine through in everything she does, both as a caregiver and as a coworker. She always goes the extra step to ensure patient safety and patient comfort, which in turn creates a supportive atmosphere for the pediatric floor. She anticipates her team's needs and is proactive in finding solutions to any issues arising during our shift. She is an asset to my team, and she is the night shift "Daisy." She is very deserving of this award. Everything she does, she does with a purpose. She is a shining example of excellent customer service and a dedicated team player.
