Sheri’s PICC line placing skills are well known amongst Intermountain NICUs. Sheri and another NICU PICC team member, Meghan Davis, went to Utah Valley together to place a PICC line in this patient. They were successful on their first try, providing excellent care to a patient outside of Primary Children's that needed their help.
“Their dedication to patient care extends beyond the walls of Primary Children's Hospital,” said Allison Struiksma, Nurse Manager-Complex - NICU, who nominated Sheri and Meghan for Extraordinary Experiences recognition. “We are so grateful to have them as members of the Primary Children’s Hospital NICU team.”
Thank you, Allison, for telling us about how Sheri and Meghan literally went the extra mile, driving across the valley to help a child in need at another hospital. All three of you will receive prizes!
Other winners this round include:
- Cheryl Gerdy, Clinical Operations Director, Oncology Administration, nominated by Hannah Robinson, Director - Pediatric Hospital Specialties Service Line
- Shelby Welch, RN Coordinator II-PICU, nominated by Becky Lowe, RN Coordinator II-PICU
- Savannah Christensen, RN - Clinic, Primary Children's at Riverton nominated by Emma Bullough, Enhanced Registrar, Primary Children's at Riverton
All of these honorees, and the alert caregivers who nominated them, have prizes on their way!
