For and About MedStar NRH Network Team Members

Saluting Our Nurses Thank You!

By Alquietta Brown, RN, BSN, MHSA, director of nursing, and Lunar Song, PhD, MS, RN, director, Clinical Informatics
When you ask a nurse why they chose nursing as a professional career, several common themes emerge. The themes ranged from exposure to the profession at an early age, caring for or helping to care for family members, reading books about nursing, needing a profession that was exible and rewarding, and the most popular reason was the desire to help people get better. Within rehabilitation nursing, the majority of our nurses are bedside nurses actively participating in the daily care of our patients. We also have nurses with many different focus areas, such as: nurse liaisons, who evaluate potential patients from other facilities; PPS coordinators, who validate the patients functional independence measures (FIM); infection control nurses, who ensure we prevent the spread of infection; utilization review/documentation specialist nurses, who ensure we comply with regulatory bodies and validate our documentation; nurse practitioners, who treat our patients; outpatient nurses, who promote the health of our patients in the community; nurse educators, who teach our clinical Team Members; informatics nurses, who leverage technology in clinical practice; and our nurse leaders, who oversee their clinical areas to ensure we are meeting the overall needs and expectations of our patients. Why rehabilitation nursing? Our nurses selected rehabilitation as their nursing specialty because they wanted to actively participate in the patients healing process. Rehabilitation nursing allows our nurses to bond with their patients and their families. Our nurses have an innate desire in helping our patients reach their maximum potential.

There are so many great stories to share from all of our nurses, but here are some of their achievements! Were all very proud of them! Amelia Warner - Amelia came to MedStar NRH in October 1987. Upon arrival, her rst role was as a oat-pool nurse. She maintained that role for six months. Later she moved to 3 West as the resource nurse. In January 1989, Amelia was named Team Member of the month. During Nurses Week in May of the same year, she was elected the 1989 Nurse of the Amelia Warner speaks Year. This was a big year for during the Nurses Week awards luncheon in May Amelia, as in 1989 she was 2012. Photo by: Derek promoted to nurse manager. Berry In addition, she acted as director of 3 West for six months. Amelia attended the New Value Ambassadors course in Orlando, with Administration. She served as a New Value Ambassador for two years. Among her awards, she has been the recipient of the Safety Award; The Edward Eckenhoff Leadership Award 2004, and since, has received multiple Class Act Cards. Amelia has served many years as the co-nursing director of orthopaedics. In 1990, she assumed the role of nurse manager of 2 East until the present time. Amelia will be retiring in June of this year. Katy Surdyka, 2E RN - Katy has a degree in exercise physiology and a Bachelors in Nursing. She joined MedStar NRH because she feels the overall environment on a day-to-day basis is great! Katys talent landed her in rst place in the Gingerbread House Contest this past Christmas! Indira Rethnaswamy, 2E RN - Currently, Indira is a student at Chamberlain University. She is one class shy of graduation. Kudos to her for her hard work both in the classroom and on the units. Indira has a Bachelor of Science degree from Tamil Nadu, India. Mercy Ogbuokiri, 2E RN - Obi has worked at MedStar NRH for 14 years. She came here following a referral from a friend. Obi just graduated with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Chamberlain University. What brings her the most joy is when the patients come back around for a visit after transitioning back into the community. Some may not know Mercys secret - she was a midwife in Lagos, Nigeria!

Andrea Small, RN evening clinical coordinator - Since becoming a full-time Team Member at MedStar NRH as clinical coordinator for 2 East Ortho/Stroke units and 2 West SCI/Cardiac units in July 2012, Andrea has been an exceptional asset to her fellow nurses and Team Members at MedStar NRH! She has been instrumental in teaching and mentoring her teams and fellow Team Members; improving the patient experience; and helping MedStar NRH to launch a dialysis suite. We congratulate Andrea on her Everyday HERO award she received last summer too! Sara Gibbs, 2W - Sara serves on the Skin Team (skin champion); hand hygiene (Infection Control); preceptor for new grad nurses; teaches spinal cord class once every other week; acts as a liaison for the business development and recruitment team; attends job fairs on behalf of MedStar NRH; is involved in the interview/selection process for potential new Team Members; is trained as a nurse coordinator; is the past member of the Nursing Council Committee; is a super user for multiple spinal cord specic/ cardiac specic devices; and trains in accessing Mediports for patients on 2 West.

Beth Biggs-James, RN, BSN - Beth has been a member of the exi-pool for six years. Beth likes seeing patients leave more independent, and constantly has a bright smile on her face! Norma Sweezy, 2E RN - Norma has worked here for 21 years. She also works full-time at MedStar Washington Hospital Center. Norma attends Chamberlain University to obtain her Bachelors in Nursing.

Nurses to John Rockwood During Snowstorms Thanks!

During the recent, rather bizarre end of winter/early spring, we had not one, but three, snowstorms totaling different amounts in the D.C. and Baltimore regions. Several nurses, who had to be at work to treat our patients in the rain, snow or shine, couldnt make it because they either had car problems or were stranded. But, some of those nurses wanted to extend a special shout-out to our president, John Rockwood, for going out of his way in the snow to help some of them and picked several up to bring to work for their shifts during some of the March storms. One nurse in fact said, John Rockwoods actions in coming to pick me up when I was stranded makes it clear to me what a special place MedStar NRH is!

OT Month Reunion

A regular program of moderate to vigorous physical activity is recommended to promote health and tness. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends at least 30 minutes of moderate, intense physical activity, ve days a week, or 20 minutes or more of vigorous activity, three days a week. Even if you feel too busy and stressed to hit 30 minutes at one time, try 10 per day, two or three times a day. Try something in the morning and in the evening. There are many options right here at MedStar NRH. You can do activities such as:  Take walks (around the campus or building or neighborhood for outpatient network Team Members)  Join an exercise group or clubin fact, at Irving Street, we have Zumba every Wednesday afternoon from 5:15 to 6:15 p.m., in the 2nd Floor Cardiac Gym.

Bring your Yoga mat! These activities are a great way to promote good cardiovascular health, help you lose or manage your weight, eat right, manage stress, sleep well, and most importantly, give you sound body and mind.

Clean Your Refrigerators!

An important reminder from MedStar NRH Infection Control: Now that spring has nally sprung and youre doing that spring cleaning (both at home and at work), its a good idea to clean up your work areas, especially your refrigerators! A lot of germs can accumulate in the fridge, so its good to keep them clean. Here are a few simple guidelines to follow:  Make a weekly cleaning log, if its a refrigerator used by your entire service area.  Discard all out-of-date food products because these will, most certainly, give you a stomach bug.  Date all your food items before storing in the refrigerator, if you are going to consume them over a period of time.  When the ofce refrigerator has a solid block of ice in the freezer, this means it is not working effectively. Defrost the refrigerator.

 It is recommended to purchase a fridge thermometer to help guide you as to the correct temperature to store your food.  If you have questions, contact TsiTsi McLure at 202-877-1648.
