Happy Nurses Week to all of you in PICU and 7C. This is a time for us to take a minute to reflect on what being a nurse means to each of us. I never imagined myself being away from the bedside in my nursing career because patient care is the most important aspect of nursing and what I LOVE so much. However, I realized this week while celebrating our nurses of the year that as a manager, I am thankful not only for my own nursing opportunities, but thrilled each day to see the AMAZING care that you all give our patients, their families, and each other. I am continually impressed with all the stories of special moments that you create for our patients and most proud of the quality of care you provide and hold each other accountable for.....we even got Dr. Habib to abide by the isolation guidelines today! Not that any of you need another parent, but I do feel like a proud mother every day because of the wonderful work you do in the PICU and on 7C.
Congratulations to our Nurses of the Year, Kate Seay (7C) and Tiffany Mullins (PICU). In addition, the PICU was incredibly well represented at the hospital wide Nurse of the Year Ceremony with Anna Durstine, Tiffany Mullins, and Jennifer Shaw being in the top 10 finalist! Obviously, I am blessed with the best RNs at MUSC!
So take a moment this week and celebrate yourself and your nursing colleagues.
Cheers to each of you!
Love,
Melinda
