Mercy Values

From an email from an RN at St. John’s Hospital in Springfield:

"On April 22, 2009, we had second-semester students on our floor from 1400-1900. In my opinion these students performed above the call of duty and exhibited the highest Mercy values attainable. If this is an example of the future of nursing then we can all rest assured that we will be in good hands."

Thank you to this RN for taking the time to write about our wonderful students. The instructor with these students was Patty Brown-Hanson. She said that the hospital unit was having one of those days we are all familiar with: the kind where you just feel overwhelmed with no end in sight. The students, led by Patty, jumped right in to help, all working as a team. They helped start IVs, passed meds on more than just their assigned patients to help the team leaders, passed trays, and so on–you get the picture. Thank you, Patty, for facilitating a great learning experience for these students.
