Aya RN, Sky, treats her patients like family

A family who could not be with their loved one due to COVID restrictions reached out to Aya RN, Sky’s, facility and gave her and the nursing staff special thanks for the care they provided. Read the kind words this family had to share about Sky and her team:

With the times we are living in during this pandemic, we cannot physically be with our loved one. Naturally, that adds a measure of anxiety and sadness because we cannot hold our loved one’s hand. But you all did that for us. You provided excellent medical care as well as the human touch that meant so much. We watched on camera how a gentle stroke, pat or holding of the hand helped to calm our loved one, as it did us as well. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for caring the way you did. Each of these nurses treated our father as if he was their father.

Thank you, Sky, for treating this patient like a loved one of your own! Your excellent care made all the difference to this family.

Superb RN, Cody, takes great care of his patients

Aya RN, Cody, made a big impression on one of his patients. Read how Cody’s excellent care made this patient’s ER visit better:

“I recently needed to visit an emergency room. I was worried about the experience I would have visiting any ER. However, I found my fears to be unfounded; the staff that night were caring, understanding, attentive, and informative. While I do not wish to diminish any of the efforts of the other staff members I interacted with, I would like to say that Cody was superb. He had a wonderful manner and was willing to help me understand specifically what he was doing. While his badge states he is a contractor, it would only be to the benefit of the hospital were you to find a way to keep him as a permanent member of the staff.” 

Not only did Cody impress his patients, but he was also recognized by his facility nurse manager, who said, “Cody has been such a pleasure to have on our team and will definitely be missed.”

We’re so proud to have travelers like you, Cody! Great job!

Aya RN, Elyse, impresses at orientation

Aya traveler, Elyse, did an amazing job at orientation. Here’s what the preceptor had to say:

“I had the pleasure of orienting Elyse and she was phenomenal and demonstrated impressive critical care nursing skills.

Elyse experienced the range of interventions: invasive line placement, multiple transfusions, bedside chest tube placement and paracentesis, starting patient on pressors, appropriately titrating pressors, and field trip to CT scan. She is a fast learner, demonstrated strong critical care skills, and expediently notified MD about changes in patient’s clinical condition and anticipated next steps in patient’s plan of care.”
