In Her Own Words: Brenda Gieser, RN
2010-04-08
Hello!
My name is Brenda, and I will be your Registered Nurse today.
I will be administering medications prescribed to you. I will make sure you do not have allergies to these medications, and if you do have an adverse reaction to the medication, I will use my critical thinking skills and take action! I will be watching for signs the medication is working for you as well. I am the eyes and ears of the physician.
I will deliver your baby, or grandchild, or niece/nephew in case the physician does not arrive on time.
