There are opportunities with tracheostomy patients on ventilators, acute stroke patients, titratable drips including cardiac medications, heparin, and insulin, complex wounds and dressings, enteral and parenteral feedings, surgical drains, chest tubes, and seizure disorders including VEEG monitoring

The SMH environment expects high quality care for patients and RNs who want to advance learning to ensure they can be the best nurse possible. Quality nurses not only understand, but also exhibit, that “care starts with caring.” Nursing is about caring for people.

You can do this by treating each patient as if they are the only one you are caring for that day, being the calm voice for the family, finding the answers when you don’t have one, and displaying compassion in all interactions.
