Jenni has always impressed me with the quality of her nursing care, critical thinking skills, calmness, and teamwork. I went down to the ED to receive a patient from her and while she was giving me bedside reports the patient went into cardiac arrest (which she had previously done multiple times).
Jenni and the ED took over and resuscitated the patient which allowed me time to tend to my other patients upstairs in the CCU. Once the patient had been stabilized again, Jenni traveled with us back upstairs to CCU and then stayed at bedside helping the CCU team provide time-sensitive care. The patients AV fistula (which had been bleeding and stitched) had started severely bleeding again. Jenni held manual pressure until a surgeon could get to bedside to fix it. She had other patients downstairs but dedicated her full time and attention to making sure this unstable patient was safely transferred until I could assume care. Her calm demeanor helped set the atmosphere to provide world-class care and I am grateful for her help and compassionate care of this and all of the patients we share.
