Paige Buckallew, RN
MERCY MEDICAL CENTERCENTERVILLE recently received this
letter from a patient's mother, Bianca Myers, about Paige Buckallew,
RN, who models the LiveUp motto: the highest standard is the only
standard, everyday.
"Our experience at Mercy-Centerville was nothing short of
amazing. It's always scary when you bring your 7-month-old
baby to the ER, but the nurses, lab techs and the rest of the
sta at the hospital were so comforting and understanding of
all our concerns," Bianca writes. "During our time at the hospital,
we encountered several fantastic nurses and sta, but Paige
Buckallew stands out in my mind. Paige was called to the ER to
start an IV on our son who was severely dehydrated. I was told
by several nurses that Paige was a pro at starting IVs on babies,
so that helped my anxiety (a little). The minute she walked into
the room, she was friendly, condent and very calm, despite my
being a wreck and my little guy unhappy. She was diligent in her
processes, and while she did have to stick him twice due to his
veins being so dehydrated, she remained calm throughout the
entire process."
"Paige's poise and bedside manner turned an experience that
was very traumatic for me and that could have been traumatic for
my son into a pretty great overall experience," Bianca continues. "I
can't say enough good things about the positive impact Paige made
on the start of our stay at Mercy-Centerville."
