Meet Staci, a Neurosurgery Regional Subspecialty RN. Her work behind the scenes helps ensure neurosurgery patients leave the hospital informed, confident and supported.

“I'm proud of the work I've been able to do to improve post-operative care through standardized discharge instructions for neuroendovascular procedures. After noticing several patients were confused by their discharge notes, I collaborated with the team to create standardized instructions that have helped reduce confusion and improve patient outcomes.”

Her journey from Medical Assistant to Regional Subspecialty RN highlights what nursing is all about — a deep commitment to patients, strong teamwork and pride in making care better. We’re grateful for Staci and for all nurses who make Bronson exceptional! Read her full Nurses’ Week spotlight: bronsonhealth.us/nurse-staci-26
