Sarah McCormick: She knows the art of nursing
posted January 16th, 2009
Sarah McCormick, RN, Medical Intensive Care at DUH, received the Ernestine Davis Cole Award for Excellence in MICU/CCU Nursing. A colleague said:
“Sarah understands the art of nursing begins with a comfortable patient. When she transitioned to the role of RN, she never forgot the need for basic nursing care. Some have asked, ‘How did you wash my mom’s hair when she’s connected to a monitor, a ventilator, three to four IV pumps and a CVVHD?’ Only a true artisan can make it seem so effortless.”
