With today's nursing staff expected to handle more and more of patient care, nurses are continually called upon for their sharp assessment skills, problem solving, and decision-making abilities. When it comes to the innumerable details involved in day-to-day care, Little Company nurses don't miss a beat. Their primary focus has always been the complete patient experience.
Little Company nurses truly do make a difference. They take time with patients even after their shifts have ended to provide personalized care, address patient needs and answer family questions.
The nurses' care and concern for their patients is evident in all aspects of nursing. Teamwork and continuity of care deter- mine scheduling of staff -pairing an RN. and a Care Partner in patient care teams for two-week periods. Cancer patients tend to be in the Hospital for longer stays, so these two-week assignments help ensure consistent, personalized care. Patients get to know their nursing staff and the staff can more easily anticipate and meet patients' needs. At Little Company, patients are assured that their care is provided by a professional, compassionate staff
"The care of our patients is our first concern. We continue to look for and hire excellent nurses to care for our patients. It is an honor to be involved with the wonderful nursing staff that works at Little Company," says Jane Sullivan, RN, BSN, MS., Vice President of Patient Care Services.
"Little Company has been famous for its nursing care for years," explains Kent Armbruster, M.D., Hospital Medical Director and Executive Vice President. "When I started here in 1977, the Sisters oversaw all of the nursing care throughout the entire hospital, and today, that tradition of dedication still remains."
