CHI St. Vincent Nursing wished a fond farewell to SVP & Chief Nursing Officer, Brenda
Baird, MSN, RN, CENP who departed her role as Chief Nurse Executive for CHI St. Vincent.
Brenda has joined the Northeast Georgia Health System where she will serve as the Vice
President and Chief Nursing Officer.
Brenda came to CHI St. Vincent in 2007. Here during her eight plus years, she led nursing
on an amazing journey that continues today. There are a few of the many
accomplishments: implemented professional nursing shared governance; led a four year
journey which resulted in CHI St. Vincent Infirmary becoming the first and only ANCC
Magnet recognized hospital in Arkansas; Magnet contributed to CHI St. Vincent Infirmary
being recognized by US News & World Report as the top hospital in Arkansas for the past 3
years; led the
journey at CHI St. Vincent Morrilton to becoming designated as the first
and only ANCC recognized Pathway hospital in 2013; represented CHI St. Vincent in
multiple national publications and conference presentations; served as CHI St. Vincent
Executive sponsor of the Cerner build and implementation; led the Care Value
implementation; led formation of CHI St. Vincent Simulation Lab with Blue and You
donation in 2012; and worked with the Vogel Family on Nursing Excellence scholarships for
bedside nurses. As you can tell, in eight years, Brenda has led CHI St. Vincent nursing to
new heights.
We thank Brenda for her years of service to promote nursing professional development
and recognize the impact of nurses in the care of our patients. We wish her well for the
future! (more photos, p. 15)

March education for the Operating Room at CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs focused on
trauma. Dr. John Webb , Trauma Medical Director at CHI SVHS prepared a 1 hour presentation about
resuscitation of the trauma patient in the operating room. All staff that participate in the care of the
operative patient were invited; including nursing staff, scrub techs, and anesthesia. The in-service
focused on the steps of a crash laparotomy, as well as how both staff and equipment should be
prepared. Thank you to the OR staff for staying up to date in trauma standards of care to provide the
best they can for our trauma patients!

The deadline for the FY16 portfolio submission for the Nursing Clinical Advancement Program (NCAP) has been extended to August 1st.
In review of the calendar, it was noted that the program deadline fell on a Sunday. In order to better facilitate submissions for our
NCAP participants, it was agreed to extend the submission deadline to the following day.
The adjusted deadline for submission of NCAP portfolios to Judy McCarey on 3 West at CHI SVI is Monday,
August 1, 2016 at 12:00 pm. Locations will be determined and communicated for other facilities.
A group of co-workers from CHI SVI provided a Basic Life Support course for the Juniors and Seniors at Mount St. Mary’s High School on
April 14th and 15th, 2016. It has become an annual tradition that CHI St. Vincent nurses perform skills check-offs for the girls at Mount St.
Mary’s Academy. One of the goals of CHI St. Vincent is to nurture the healing ministry of the Church, supported by education and research
in order to emphasize human dignity and social justice as we create healthier communities. It is important to give back to the community
in which we live. These girls learn Basic Life Support as part of a health class that is provided by the school. The BLS instructors look
forward to this community service each year because these girls are so knowledgeable and are truly interested in learning new skills. The
girls at Mt. St. Mary’s provide many hours of volunteer service to CHI SVI also. This is a wonderful relationship that benefits the hospital,
school, and the community.
There is the bonus of having fun with our coworkers outside of the hospital and knowing we are helping others at the same time. CHI SVI
instructors were Jonell Lynch, BSN, RN, Amy Ramick, MNSc, RN, ANCS-BC, Michele Revere, RN, Christy Sanders, MSN, RN, Farren Rippond,
MSN, RN, Debbie Payton, RRT, BS, CPFT, Mary Stokes, Winston Shields and Lynn Sears.
There will be a Certified Operating Room Nurse (CNOR) Exam Prep and Review Course at CHI St. Vincent Infirmary in
the St. Vincent DePaul Room on May 14-15, 2016. This two day course is designed to prepare perioperative nurses to
take the CNOR exam and to demonstrate clinical competence and knowledge of practice standards. It includes 16 contact
hours. Register online at http://www.periop-ed.com
The review course is open to participants from all campuses.

We want to hear from YOU!
The PCA is an annual survey for employees from across the organization. By gathering
your feedback and opinions about how things are going, we hope to make improvements to our
work environment and ensure CHI is a place that we all want to work. This important survey is being
created and administered by Healthstream, a professional research and survey administration
organization. A big reason behind using a third party vendor to guarantee your anonymity and
confidentiality. The survey is completely confidential and anonymous. No one will see or know your
individual survey results.
Based on your feedback, action plans will be developed to address areas of concern or
improvement. We want to make CHI St. Vincent the best place to work. This is YOUR opportunity to
provide feedback and opinions about how things are going,
In addition, participation in the PCA is part of the RN Quality Performance Incentive Plan which began
July 1, 2015. Eligible RNs at each campus may earn a $100 bonus if nursing units achieve ≥ 90%

What is Nursing Autonomy to me?
Magnet Source
of Evidence
EP16
To me, autonomy is being able to make decisions about my patient’s care, within my
scope of practice. As a bedside nurse, we can anticipate, prevent and treat complications. As long
as I stay within my scope of practice, I feel I have full autonomy. I don’t tell the physician what to
do. But I am able to question the treatment ordered for my patient. I feel we have a lot of
autonomy on 7 East. We work well with physicians. They listen to us. If I am not sure of something,
I can call the physician for clarification.
Every year the nurses at CHI St. Vincent take the
NDNQI RN Satisfaction Survey. Every year we have
scored low on autonomy. Probably because most of
us do not understand autonomy. Every year the
Oncology Unit Council works on ways to help nurses
have a better understanding of autonomy. I
remember several years ago having a board in the
bathroom where we would put our examples of
autonomy! The last NDNQI Survey we took for
October 2015, we increased our score for
autonomy. Every year we pick something to work
on and something to celebrate. This year we picked “Nursing Administration” to work on and the
item we picked to celebrate was "Autonomy."
Join us as we celebrate 7E autonomy. Starting in April, we will have a monthly potluck on staff
meeting day. We also have many other ideas to celebrate autonomy.

Devin Williams-Anton, RN, is the April 2016 DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses winner at CHI St. Vincent. Williams-Anton is a RN on
the Neurosurgical ICU unit at CHI SVI.
Here’s an excerpt from Williams-Anton’s nomination letter, which
was written by a nurse who had a family member as a patient:
My great aunt suffered an aneurysm. The patient care was
exemplary. But the care of our family was even more outstanding.
This nurse took the time to sit with my great uncle and his children.
She explained some of the care options mentioned by the physician.
She answered questions about what a feeding tube would look like,
where would a feeding tube be placed, what would Tracheostomy be
and how would it work. More important than the knowledge
imparted is the time she took to make my family more informed and
empowered to make some very special and difficult decisions.
Kindness and patience were unparalleled. When her shift ended, she
left behind her personal phone number and asked the family to call if
my aunt’s health deteriorated. She wanted to support them through
the situation even after working all night long.
My great uncle was very hard of hearing and this nurse took special
care to speak so he could understand what she was saying.
After our experience was over, my great uncle stated no one could
have cared for us better. There is no better compliment for a
registered nurse.
The DAISY Award was established by the DAISY Foundation in memory of J. Patrick Barnes who died at 33 of
ITP, an auto-immune disease. The Barnes Family was awestruck by the clinical skills, caring and compassion of
the nurses who cared for Patrick, so they created this national award to say thank you to nurses everywhere.
Transporter Patrice Armstrong has been named the winner of the April Shining S.T.A.R.
Award at CHI St. Vincent. S.T.A.R. stands for Superior Teamwork Achieved by
Relationships.
The award is presented to a non-licensed nursing care team member who goes above
and beyond the call of duty and is the kind of person that our patients, their families and
our staff recognize as an outstanding role model.
The award was presented at the Patient Care Governing Congress by Chaplain Cindy
Goza. “She is probably one of the most incredible women that we have,” Goza said.
“She’s in our transport system. She’s also going to college to study to by a psychiatrist.”
On this day, Armstrong was bringing a patient back to their room and noticed they were
having a seizure. “She immediately got assistance. She didn’t hesitate to get the right
people on board,” Goza said. “It made a tremendous difference in this patient’s life. This
is typical of her in her work and her calling. She is so gifted. I am amazed at the work she
is doing and the goals that she has set. It’s with great honor that we give her the Shining
S.T.A.R. Award.”
The award is presented quarterly. For more information, contact the Human Resources

April is one of the busiest months of the year for ARORA (The Arkansas Regional Organ Recovery Agency) and
other organizations across the country that support organ, tissue and eye donation. That is because April is National Donate
Month. Established in 2003, National Donate Life Month is observed each April to celebrate the extreme generosity of the many
people who have saved and enhanced lives by becoming organ, tissue and eye donors.
ARORA encourages Arkansans to observe National Donate Life Month by registering to become an organ, tissue and eye donor at
their local DMV office, online at donatelifearkansas.org, or by requesting a paper registration form by calling ARORA at
866.660.5433. ARORA urges registered donors to share with their families their decision to register to become a donor.

Alison DeLee, RN, CMSRN is a nurse on the 4 East Medical/Surgical unit at CHI St.
Vincent Hot Springs. She is a certified Medical/Surgical Registered nurse. Alison
was a LPN for 2 years before returning to school and becoming a RN, graduating
from National Park Community College in 2010. She obtained her professional
nursing certification in 2015.
Alison saw a flyer promoting CHI St. Vincent’s certification reimbursement
program in her unit’s break room and made the decision to sit for the exam. “I
thought it was very interesting. I am a charge nurse on my unit and I thought this
was something that was important for charge nurses to have.”
In order to prepare for the exam, Alison borrowed a medical surgical exam
review book from a friend. “A lot of what was in there was what I learned in
school, so it was a nice refresher. I studied for a while and took sample
questions.”
Medical-surgical nurses are the largest group of practicing health care
professionals in the acute care setting. Thank you Alison for all of your hard
work and dedication to advancing your professional practice!
A group of nurses met in April to begin writing the Magnet re-designation document for CHI St.
Vincent Infirmary. Stories included:

Improvements in barcode medication administration

use of teachback for patient education


Michelle Davis, RN
CHI SVI_CCU
A cardiologist was reviewing a patient’s telemetry history. A six second pause was found. This
finding and other data led the physician to determine that the patient had Brady Tachy Syndrome
which would require the patient to have a pacemaker. Michelle, along with the charge nurse,
reviewed this data and found that the patient was not admitted to the unit at the time where the
data reflected the pause. The telemetry viewed was actually from the previous patient that had
not been discharged out of the monitor. The nurse notified the cardiologist and the family was
notified as well of the wrong diagnosis.
Michelle was Paying Attention to Detail. She felt unsure that the rhythm observed by the
cardiologist was correct. Her persistence prevented the patient from receiving an unneeded
pacemaker.
Natalie Manatt, RN and
Shana Coffman, RN
CHI SVHS_OPD
A patient was receiving a blood transfusion. The patient stated that they were not feeling well and
the nurses felt that the patient “did not look right”. The blood transfusion was stopped
immediately. After the transfusion was stopped Natalie and Shana still felt something was wrong.
They assessed the patient and determined that the patient was having a heart attack. The patient
was quickly transported to the Emergency Department for evaluation.
Natalie and Shana had Questioning Attitude. The became aware that the patient’s condition had
changed and their quick recognition of a heart attack allowed them to send the patient to the
Emergency Department for proper care.
Pam Keefover

A patient was wandering in the facility. Pam noticed that the patient looked lost and appeared
unsteady on their feet. She quickly found a wheelchair and assisted the patient to sit down. She
then was able to escort the patient back up to their room. Her quick actions prevented this patient
from falling.

Gretchen was taking care of a patient with a diagnosis of renal disease. She received orders for a
tube feeding that contained the appropriate nutrients for a renal patient to consume. Gretchen
also noticed that the patient had lactose intolerance. The tube feeding ordered contained lactose.
Gretchen worked with the nutrition and dietary department to find a tube feeding that met the
requirements for a patient with renal disease who also has lactose intolerance. Gretchen Had
Questioning Attitude. She received an order for tube feeding, but found the patient to have an
intolerance. She ensured that the patient received the appropriate diet.
A patient was transferred from an extended care facility to the Cath Lab for a procedure. After
receiving the patient, Laura read through the paperwork that was sent with the patient. Upon
investigation Laura found another patient’s information was mixed in with her patient’s paperwork.
She notified the transferring facility of her finding and verified the correct identity of the patient
that had been transferred.
Laura Had A Questioning Attitude. She thoroughly inspected the patient’s information and found
another patient’s paperwork. She clarified that the patient present was correct and stopped a
further HIPAA violation.
A patient admitted to a unit was ordered to have Bupropion 150 mg daily (regular release) on the
medical record. This dose was verified by pharmacy and the patient received 2 doses. During a
chart review, Daniel noticed that the home medication list had Bupropion 150 mg XL (extended
release) entered instead of regular release. He verified this with the physician and changed to
order to reflect the XL medication.
This is a great example of Paying Attention to Detail. Daniel was able to resolve a discrepancy with
the medication.
Do you know someone who should be recognized for a great catch?

How are you recognized in the Nursing News? Your Nurse Manager or Supervisor completes a monthly Reward & Recognition Assessment form and sends it to
Wendi Summerville, Executive Assistant. Be sure to include your credentials! We’d love to recognize YOU!
CHI St. Vincent leaders celebrated patient care staff in April by giving Ice Cream on day shift and night shift on behalf of the Board,
physicians, and coworkers. This was a THANK YOU to the care teams for an outstanding job during recent regulatory surveys.

I would like to take this opportunity, as I depart CHI SV after eight years, to thank each of you for all you do
each day for our patients and their families. I have been blessed to work with such an extraordinary group
of professional nurses and other members of the healthcare team at CHI SV. Evidenced daily is our mission
in action, extending the healing ministry of Jesus Christ.
I think back to the topical issues encountered when I joined the organization in 2008. A couple of those
issues included the fact that RNs did not have access to email and the organizational philosophy was that
unit level quality data should not be posted and shared with bedside nurses! It has been an honor to
watch nurses, not only obtain access to work email, but to have access to all quality data and become
instrumental in improving the care of patients we serve through the use of the data. It has also been
exciting to observe the many nurses that have pursued additional degrees and certifications over the years and offering
encouragement to others to do the same.
I wish each of you the very best personally and professionally in the years ahead!
Farewell and
Thank You Brenda
for all your years of
leadership!
