Our nurses have been called a lot of things.... heroes, angels, Nightingales, but this might be our new favorite! Ninjas!

We like to recognize our colleagues who embody excellence and go above and beyond in caring for our patients and community. This week we honor Andrew P., from our imaging department, who was awarded the Patient Safety iCare award!

Here is what a colleague said about Andrew:

"Andrew came to our unit to help confirm placement of a PICC line on one of our extremely low birth weight babies. Andrew was so incredibly patient with us.

He never once made us feel rushed or pressured. We were able to get the line in good placement and did not have to try again. Without Andrew’s patience, we likely would have discontinued our attempt, and the baby would have had to be poked again. Our little ones appreciate you!"

We like to recognize our colleagues who embody excellence and go above and beyond in caring for our patients and community. A big congratulations to Susana D., Transporter, for being a Customer Service winner! She was nominated by a colleague, for her work during her time in Food & Nutrition.

“Susana is always such a joy to our unit. When she is here, the staff knows our patients will be taken care of. One day, Susana went out of her way to get permission from the dietician if she could make a patient who has been here for over a month a specialized milkshake with whipped cream.

The patient was over the moon, even as a non-verbal patient, you could tell just how much it meant to him and he immediately devoured his sweet treat.

Thank you Susie for caring about our patients just as much as we do.”

🎒🚸 Back to School Safety Reminder! 🚌📚

As kids head back to class across Las Vegas this week, let's all work together to keep them safe—whether they're walking, biking, or riding to school.

👟 Pedestrian Safety
Always use crosswalks & follow crossing guards
Look left-right-left before crossing
Make eye contact with drivers before stepping into the street

🚲 Bike Safety
Wear a properly fitted helmet every ride
Ride with traffic, not against it
Stay visible and use hand signals

🎒 Backpack Fit
Choose one with padded straps and a waist belt
Keep the load light—under 10–15% of body weight
Use both shoulder straps to avoid back strain

🚗 Driver Awareness in School Zones
Slow down and follow posted speed limits
Watch for kids at crosswalks, intersections, and getting off buses
Never pass a stopped school bus with flashing lights
Stay off your phone—eyes up, hands on the wheel

Let’s make safety a priority this school year! 📚
