An email from Dawn Geller, RN BSN, owner of ProCare Medical Staffing. This is who we want working with us!
Good morning!
I had an impromptu meeting last night with one of our RNs, Dave Gokool. We of course talked about nursing but our conversation changed to a particular facility being a hot mess-patients’ fingernails dirty and unsafely long, men unshaven, hair cuts way overdue....I hesitated to ask what immediately came to mind, well, because , “we are just agency nurses”.....but the question just flowed out-“what did you do about all of that?” Dave’s response, “I made them get nail clippers and razors and we started cleaning them up! I went to Walmart and bought clippers for the next shift.”
And that is exactly how we want all of you to be. We need to advocate for this once police officer, this once nurse, this mom, or pastor. We take care of humans and we must treat them in their most needed time, like we would want our child treated (notice I didn’t say spouses;). Dave, thank you for representing ProCare in this manner and above all else, thank you for giving these people and those who visit their dignity!
