ABSN Alumna Swayzer Featured in Nursing Update
April 9, 2019
Katherynn Swayzer, ABSN '18, was recently featured in an article entitled "Working Together Solves Problems to Root" published in Nursing Update.
On her first day of orientation in the Duke Regional Hospital Intensive Care Unit, Katherynn Swayzer, RN, CNI, knew she had joined a team that encouraged idea-sharing and working as a team to solve problems.
During the unit’s daily huddle, she observed how team members readily voiced safety and quality concerns or issues they identified. And, then they worked together to solve them at their root.
Based on an experience she’d had earlier in her shift where she noticed an issue with a medication pump, she decided to speak up during the huddle.
