Mary Beth is a charge nurse, preceptor and serves on the critical care transport team. She always provides extraordinary care for her patients and acts as a patient advocate even when it is the difficult thing to do. This story is an example of her extraordinary patient advocacy. She worked Christmas Eve night as the charge nurse, a very busy shift, the unit was full and with very high acuity. At the end of the shift around 6:15 am a request for transport and PICU admission came in for a ten-day-old infant at a referral hospital approximately one hour away. Mary Beth could have left it for the on call day shift transport nurse to do but, instead, she decided to go ahead and go on the transport. I know she was thinking that it was just an hour away and she wouldn't be too late getting home, but that was not how things turned out. The patient was extremely ill and she spent four hours in the ED at the referral hospital coordinating extensive resuscitation efforts between our transport team, the ED team and our Intensivist before the patient was stable enough to transport to the CH. She worked tirelessly with the team, despite the ED physician trying to get them to go ahead and leave. She wanted to make sure that the patient was stable enough to survive the trip to Macon. The team did not arrive back at the CH until 1:00 pm. The infant was admitted to the PICU in very critical condition where workup revealed undiagnosed congenital diseases. It was Mary Beth's expertise and tenacity that gave this family a Christmas miracle and the infant a chance to survive. Mary Beth missed most of the Christmas holiday with her family and children because of the length of the transport and because she chose to do the right thing for the patient. She exemplifies the best in nursing. We are privileged to have Mary Beth Kennedy, RN as a part of the Children's Hospital team and the Medical Center Navicent Health.
