Spotlight on Excellence: Brooke Priest-Buckner, NP – 10S Palliative Care

Shoutout to Brooke Priest-Buckner, NP on 10S Palliative, for her sharp observation and swift action to protect her vulnerable patients! Brooke noticed that a patient on the unit was COVID-19 positive, yet isolation precautions had been lifted prematurely—before the patient met the criteria for discontinuation. Without hesitation, she alerted the unit’s Infection Preventionist, clearly explained the situation, and ensured the patient was promptly placed back on isolation. Thank you, Brooke, for your keen attention to detail and your commitment to patient safety. Your willingness to challenge the status quo makes a real difference—your patients are fortunate to have you!
