A little Halloween cheer at NRVMC.
Our Team showing a little Halloween Spirit today.
We started a tradition of dressing up the week before Halloween. Each day is a different theme. Wednesday was Wacky Wednesday! Internal Medicine Lexington, Family Medicine Houston St and Family Medicine South Main all participated! Our staff and patients love this. Stay tuned for the rest of the week leading up to HALLOWEEN.

Big shout out to 4S PACU for recognizing the hard work and effort 9M PCU puts in on a daily basis. There was a transfer from PACU to 9M PCU right at shift change. We jumped in and helped the patient get settled in the room, even though timing was a little inconvenient. PACU recognized our efforts and sent us a duck that says “even in the mist of chaos, there is an opportunity to make someone else’s day.” Thank you 4S PACU for the shout out!
Patrick Hamilton noticed that the patient's stroke symptoms were worsening. He rechecked vitals and alerted me right way. He manually squeezed the saline bag to bolus faster. Due to his alertness, prompt recognition and rapid thinking, fortunately the symptoms reversed and further loss of function was prevented.
Nurses are our eyes and ears at bedside, and their involvement is paramount in our complex, rapidly changing patients with multiple comorbidities. They are our unsung heroes that keep our patients safe!
Thank you, Patrick for saving the day!
