Kudos to the nursing staff at CRMC for great care provided to a stroke patient recently. Tanya Warwick, MD, Medical Director of the Stroke Program, commented that after a recent stroke call she was impressed with the "professionalism, enthusiasm, and urgency with which the nursing staff responded to our protocols and the patient's needs." Hearing that our nursing staff did whatever it took to make sure a patient got the best care possible showed me that CMC nursing is living up to our values. Our value Clinical excellence through an educated, competent staff who use critical thinking and research based practice was demonstrated in this case. This is just one example of how we live our values day to day!
