Melissa Stallings is the eye of the hurricane. She is the calm in the center of the storm, bringing focus and clarity to hectic situations, whether they are emergency situations or non-stop shifts full of admissions, discharges, unexpected isolations and room assignment Tetris. She is very knowledgeable and can always be counted on to help with questions and concerns.
She has also made a remarkable impact on new nurses. She is always accessible, available and responsive to the needs of others, encouraging critical thinking and problem-solving for individuals and with the context of teams.
Melissa is a gifted nurse, the definition of an excellent lead charge nurse, willing to go above and beyond to help patients, families, and staff nurses. She embodies what a compassionate, hard-working, and knowledgeable nurse is.
