- Title
3M Health Care Excellence in Clinical Practice Award.
- Abstract
This article presents excerpts from the exemplars submitted in connection with the Excellence in Clinical Practice Award. This is part of the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses Circle of Excellence recognition program for 2005. This award recognizes acute and critical care nurses who embody, exemplify and excel at the clinical skills and principles that are required in their practice. For Cheryl N. Cook of the Chambersburg Hospital in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, taking care of a multiple trauma ventilator patient with closed head and neck injuries can be disappointing, especially when the prognosis is listed as grim. Cook believed that time is the best medicine, however, the constant care, range of motion and patient and family emotional support can be exhausting.
