Medical/Surgical Nursing CNI (Clinical Excellence Award) Margaret McGregor has almost three decades of Medical/ Surgical experience at C P M C. She is an Orthopaedic Nurse Certified (ONC) and a respected member of the Orthopaedic Nurses Association. She is also a member of Sigma Theta Tau, the International Honor Society of Nursing. Sharing her "outstanding fund of knowledge" on 2RW, an active unit which serves orthopaedic, gynecologic, urologic and general surgery patients, Margaret is acknowledged for her "incredible dedication to patient care." Several colleagues referred to Margaret's "phenomenal patient advocacy skills" and to her own dictum, "The day I am not a patient advocate is the day I leave nursing." One colleague noted that "she always alerts us to social and personal issues intrinsic to a patient's well-being." Margaret is commended for "going the extra mile" to accommodate patients' requests or assist fellow staff. Whether the task involves adjusting traction, proper positioning, or explaining the care of orthopaedic appliances, she "tactfully and patiently" provides crucial direction. "Her teaching talents are extraordinary." Referred to by a colleague as a "sterling example of professionalism in nursing," Margaret was instrumental in setting up unit standards of practice when the Allen Pavilion first opened. Margaret "maintains a holistic view of the patient and frequently serves to educate and integrate the efforts of multiple specialists." One colleague suggested that "her observations and actions have saved many lives." Margaret expects the best from everyone on her team, and because of the tremendous amount of respect she has earned by her daily devotion to excellence, she gets it. |
