This patient was successfully resuscitation and transitioned to the ICU. Without Megan’s speedy response, this patient could have quickly deteriorated.
Ms. Adams is a leader amongst her peers, a role model for staff, and an advocate for our veterans.
Megan is a unicorn within the nursing field and draws on her experience working within community EDs.
Megan faces difficult situations with grace. Recently, Megan was working a PM shift when a patient suddenly became unresponsive and lost their pulse. Megan called for help and assisted in the resuscitation of this patient. She acted quickly, assigned roles, and administered life-saving treatment. The resuscitation took about an hour, and during that time, Megan worked through the Hs & Ts of ACLS, which helps to encourage critical thinking and problem-solving during resuscitation. This patient was successfully resuscitation and transitioned to the ICU. Without Megan’s speedy response, this patient could have quickly deteriorated.
Megan is recognized by her peer for her excellence in the charge nurse role. Megan was awarded an ICARE moment: “It's always been a pleasure for me when Megan RN is Charge. Megan is so helpful, it's a great surprise when the patient is already in the monitor upon completing tasks in the room alone, she is a great communicator, delegator and does it all with a pleasant attitude. In my eyes, she's a Queen at multitasking, checking in with everyone, and making sure we're all ok. I appreciate her helping hands and always making me feel part of the team.” This is one example of Megan’s ability to capture multiple ICARE values in her role are charge nurse and how she role models exceptional behavior in a leadership role.
Megan loves working with patients, but also finds coordinating and supervising the workflow of the department as another venture in the charge role. To add, Megan has always been a very organized person and works to complete weekly staffing assignments for the ED. Example: Megan was in charge, and we were expecting greater than 15 patients with COVID like symptoms into the ED. The mass influx in a short amount of time does put stress on the department and resources. The ability for Megan to work through anticipated needs, plan for unknown acuity and ready the team for this event is a tremendous feat.
Together with the ED Manager, Megan created an environment with much more open and effective communication between nurses and physicians. Acknowledging Megan’s leadership qualities, the ED has developed a department charge nurse orientation. Megan mentors new charge nurses in order to prepare them in the role. With her previous experience, Megan is able to set them up for success when handling a busy department.
Her qualities promote a positive role model within the ED, and she is identified as a great leader as a charge nurse.
In conclusion, Ms. Adams is a role model for the ED and nursing as a profession. She is an intelligent, motivated, compassionate, and dedicated nurse for our veterans.
