GNTC nursing student provides support during medical crisis
A Georgia Northwestern Technical College student put her recently acquired skills as a medical practitioner to the test when she assisted a patient in medical crisis and comforted his family. Stephanie Wilson attends GNTC’s Walker County Campus in Rock Spring and expects to graduate with her Associate of Science in Nursing degree in December. Wilson is currently in the third semester of her clinical rotation duties at a hospital in Northwest Georgia. In her most recent clinical rotation, Wilson’s early recognition of a patient in distress resulted in swift intervention and a more favorable outcome for the patient. “Stephanie recognizing the patient’s rapid deterioration and responding promptly is what made the difference in this case,” said Heather Akers, instructor of Associate Degree Nursing at GNTC. “She sought immediate help when she observed something wasn’t right, and that quickly brought the appropriate care team to the bedside to intervene.” “Once the patient was stabilized, I witnessed Stephanie comforting the patient’s family,” Akers said. “The aftermath of such an event is a troubling sight to see sometimes, and Stephanie took the extra time to acknowledge the loved ones and provide comfort.” Akers said she believes Wilson’s conduct exemplifies the care nurses provide
