Melissa, a Nurse Manager, has always received the highest respect and admiration from her staff because of her loyalty and dedication to them. She is a true leader, always putting her staff first.
One of the nurses on her unit, who was displaced because of Katrina, had a same day surgery procedure performed. The nurse had no family nearby who could come and stay with her while she recuperated. When Melissa heard about this, she packed her bags and stayed the night with her recovering friend, providing care and monitoring her to make sure she was okay.
Everyone says that working at the General is like working with family. It is because of people like Melissa that our hospital has this reputation. |
