While holding my hand and stroking my hair she began humming in my ear.\u00a0 These truly amazing acts of kindness eased my anxiety and completely put me at ease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Humming isn\u2019t part of the 15-year nurse\u2019s usual pre-surgery preparation routine or personal demeanor. It just seemed to be the right thing to do. At the time, she wasn\u2019t even sure the patient was still awake.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI could tell how nervous he was,\u201d Hunter said. \u201cI just asked myself, \u2018What can I do to help?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While gallbladder surgeries were routine for everyone else in the operating room, Hunter had seen anxious patients before. But she recognized her patient had more than a usual amount of pre-surgery jitters.\u00a0 In his letter, the patient described himself as being in a near-panic as he mentally processed his high-risk classification and remembered his grandfather and uncle dying during surgeries similar to his.<\/p>\n<p>Hunter is used to handling myriad details to make sure a surgery goes smoothly, including making sure surgeons have everything they need and assisting anesthesia in placing arterial lines. But she always finds a moment to make the patient more comfortable. She offers to reposition them, cover them with a blanket or put her hand on a patient\u2019s shoulder in an effort to reassure them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI usually say, \u2018We\u2019ll take good care of you,\u2019\u2019\u2019 Hunter said. \u201cI\u2019ve heard from patients over the years that they appreciated those simple words.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a formula Hunter has refined in her 15 years as an operating room nurse, most of which were spent in central Texas hospitals near where she was raised. She joined UCHealth two years ago when her husband\u2019s job as a U.S. Army contractor brought them to Colorado Springs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe love it here,\u201d Hunter said. \u201cAs a Texan, snow is still new to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><div class=\"su-row\">\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-2-3 su-column-centered\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;color: #930718\">You Make Extraordinary Possible<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\">Together, we recognize and honor the qualities within ourselves by shining a spotlight on how each and every one of us improve lives in big ways and small.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uchealthpoints.isrewards.com\/Recognition\/Award\/FormFlex.aspx?pr=JAwX5qZPSOA=&#038;m=N\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-flat\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#A22343;border-color:#821c36;border-radius:56px\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#be657c;border-radius:56px;text-shadow:none\"> Share a story<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Surgical nurse hums her way into patient\u2019s heart Kristen Hunter, a surgical nurse at UCHealth Memorial Hospital North, could see her patient was especially anxious as his gallbladder surgery was about to begin. \u201cThis wonderful lady took my hand, began to stroke my hair and in a very soothing and calming voice told me over [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":39100,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"on","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"Relevanssi image attachment filter Relevanssi index exclude","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[4826],"class_list":["post-39099","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-you-make-extraordinary-possible"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v27.7) -
