As the family atmosphere abounds, patients are not viewed as a room number or diagnosis. The medical surgical unit at TCMH believes that patient care is an art and a science and that health is achieved through service based on total human needs. The nursing staffs are skilled in the largest trends of technology and services. An aggressive continuing education program is present for all staffers. The multiple talents and resourcefulness the staff is also something difficult to ignore.
Diversification is frequently a demand in any rural setting.
With staffing numbers significantly smaller than in large, urban settings, nurses are cross-trained in multiple patient care areas and various facets of nursing. Their skill levels never cease to amaze me. I am proud to work with such a fine, dedicated group of nurses.
