What makes emergency room nurses so special, according to our leaders
UK HealthCare’s Chandler Emergency Department is the region’s only Level 1 trauma center for adults, and the Makenna David Pediatric Emergency Center is the only dedicated children’s emergency center in Kentucky.
We asked two of our leaders to share what makes our emergency room nurses so special:
Dr. Scottie B. Day, Kentucky Children's Hospital Physician-in-Chief
“While no one wants for their child to end up in the ER, the family-friendly environment our nurses provide to our patient families in the Makenna David Pediatric Emergency Department can make an extremely stressful situation a bit more bearable. When caregivers observe how our second-to-none nurses treat their child with love and respect and champion for their absolute best possible care, they know that they aren’t alone in this situation and that they made the right choice for their child’s care.”
Dr. Landon A. Jones, Medical Director, Pediatric Emergency Medicine
“One of the greatest strengths of our pediatric emergency department here at the Makenna David Pediatric Emergency Center is our nursing team. The nursing staff is fantastic, caring, interactive and a joy to be around.”
