Read the story included on Janelle's nomination form:
"Janelle works in the ER as a charge nurse. There was a night
where each nurse had at least five patients including her and we were all
overwhelmed. At 3 a.m., a patient declined rapidly and it turned out she had
blown esophageal varices. Janelle led the team with the compassion and
leadership that only an extraordinary nurse could display. We began a mass
transfusion and in the middle of absolute chaos she was coordinating nurse
techs, lab, respiratory therapist and many more. All the while she is at the
head of the bed holding the patient on her side and comforting her. She spoke
softly and kindly to a patient telling her she would be just fine in the middle
of a true emergency. She was able to bring a smile to the patient’s face. She
brought exceptional leadership and calm to chaos. Her care, amazing nursing
knowledge, skill and leadership has been recognized by many.
Congratulations, Janelle! Thank you for your hard work and commitment to providing quality and compassionate care to our patients. We are proud to have you on our team at Skagit Regional Health!
