Trillium Health Partners/ Credit Valley Hospital
| COVID -19 Pandemic situation has placed a great amount of challenges among frontline staff. The Renal team at CVH has shown a tremendous amount success in overcoming this challenge on a daily basis. Team work environment is displayed through out this difficult time. The team has shown a shift in mindset from “I” to “we” when caring for patients with Kidney disease. Rather than thinking “I will do x, y, and z for this patient today,” as is typical when using the primary nursing care model many of us are used to, the team has taken nursing as to “We will do x, y, and z for this patient today,” while defining exactly who will be responsible for each of those actions. Its an amazing feeling to be a part of this great team. As always we say “Renal Rocks” Anitha D’souza CNeph(C) |
