Missy assisted a fellow nurse in the transfer of a patient from 6 North to the ICP. She was commended by her peer for being very dedicated, easy to work with, and for being an excellent advocate for her patient and the family.

A patient returned to the unit from the PACU. Pt. Had been stable satting 95% on
room air but when arrived to 6 North the patient was satting 88% on 10 liters per
simple mask. MD's made aware but felt patient would get better. Feeling frustrated,
Missy helped to facilitate an ICP (intermediate care program) assessment and finally
from that point an ICU assessment, ending with patient transfer. Missy was very
helpful, taking notes on the times meds/labs etc. She assisted with the plan for
transfer and everything progressed quite smoothly! Missy is an asset to 6 North and
I'd like to extend my deepest appreciation for her. Thank you.
