Maggie's Welcome Marred by Incident in Burlew Medical Library

Magnet Maggie was also attending the fall Magnet conference, hoping to find a hospital committed to nursing excellence that she could join. Maggie met the St. Joseph Hospital team, felt they were a great fit and was invited to accompany the team back to Orange. Burlew Medical Library was one of the first locations visited by Magnet Maggie. Unfortunately, some of the Magnet manuals fell off the shelf, flattening Maggie in the process.

Above, Director of Regulatory and Privacy Compliance Marty Jones and Director of Risk Management and Patient Relations Julie Hernandez assess the painful situation. (A patient consent form was signed by Maggie before the release of this information.) Medical Librarian Julie Smith reacts with horror when she discovers Maggie's mishap.

Inspired by her new friend Flat Stanley, Maggie has not let this crushing injury slow her down. She is alive and well and working with St. Joseph Hospital nurses on their Magnet redesignation.
