When we get a prehospital call that a critical patient is on the way, it’s go-time.

In the Emergency Department, our team jumps into action, prepping the room, gathering equipment, and assigning roles so we’re ready the second that patient arrives.

RNs, LPNs, and Respiratory Therapy work side by side to quickly assess, settle, and stabilize, because in the ED, every second counts!

Shoutout Sophia, Adult ED RN and SMA for highlighting your team!

Meet one of our new Upstate Nursing Social Media Ambassadors, Dawn!

Dawn's journey with Upstate began in 1999, when she first worked here as an LPN in the Pediatric Float Pool before becoming an employee in 2002. After starting her family, she transitioned in 2003 to working with individuals with developmental disabilities, where she spent many rewarding years providing compassionate, hands-on care in the community while balancing family life.

In 2018, Dawn returned to Upstate and rejoined the Pediatric Float Pool. Her return was strongly influenced by her daughter, who had just completed her second bachelor's degree in nursing and played a pivotal role in encouraging Dawn to pursue a long-standing personal goal, passing her RN boards. After years of hesitation and two previous unsuccessful attempts, Dawn was reluctant to try again. Her daughter’s unwavering support and determination made the difference, telling her, “If I’m doing them, you are doing them.” That moment became the turning point that pushed Dawn to face her fears.

Nearly 20 years after graduating from nursing school, Dawn knew she had an uphill battle ahead. She committed four months of dedicated study, rebuilding confidence and refreshing knowledge she had not used in years. In April 2021, her perseverance paid off when she proudly passed her RN boards.

Since then, Dawn has continued to grow professionally and now serves as a Clinical Leader in a busy ambulatory neurology clinic. Her journey reflects resilience, determination, and the impact of strong support systems. She feels deeply grateful for the people in her life who encouraged her to push past fear and prove that it is never too late to achieve your goals!

We are so happy to have Dawn join our Social Media Ambassador Program and help highlight Upstate Nursing!
