One notable instance that showcases her remarkable clinical judgment occurred when Angelica advocated firmly for a patient to remain under 1:1 safety monitoring. Her keen assessment of the patient's condition raised valid concerns about potential deterioration in both physical and mental health. Thanks to her vigilant advocacy, the patient received the necessary observation and, just a few hours later, experienced a critical situation that required immediate medical intervention. The proactive response by the assigned staff member, spurred by Angelica's wise guidance, initiated a cardiac code protocol and timely CPR, ultimately saving the patient’s life. Working alongside such an exceptional clinician is both an honor and a privilege.

Angelica Gorman is also the co-chair of the nurse practice council and was integral in the implementation and maintenance of the use of privacy screens in behavioral health. They are utilized specifically for total care patients in medical beds to maintain their privacy and dignity.
