Gold Coin
I received a Gold Coin from one of the Maternal Fetal Medicine providers. There was an emergent situation in the office that I assisted in before the doctor was available, delegating duties to others as needed. I implemented nursing measures until the provider was present, then helped finish taking care of the patient and preterm fetus. The transition to inpatient transfer was seamless due to effective communication and teamwork. The doctor who presented me with the Gold Coin was appreciative of my nursing skills and handling the pressure of an emergent situation, while keeping the patient safe.
