Less than 24 hours after starting her job, her nursing skills and training kicked in while she was off-the-clock.<\/p>\n<p>Riehman-Bryan and her boyfriend came upon the scene of a car accident, later confirmed as a shooting, during their drive home on Interstate 70 that summer night. They immediately pulled over.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was just so instinctual,\u201d Riehman-Bryan said. \u201cIt was one of those things in life that I was just so sure about, that I have to stop and see what was going on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She saw a man passed out at the wheel of his car and began performing compressions on the man until she was relieved by a police officer.<\/p>\n<p>Although the man didn\u2019t survive, he left a lasting impression on Riehman-Bryan. She thinks about the whole situation every day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think when traumatic things happen like that, we just kind of reprioritize our lives,\u201d said Riehman-Bryan.<\/p>\n<p>For Riehman-Bryan, her healing journey feels like an \u201coscillating wave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne minute I feel completely fine and the next, I just feel heavy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Riehman-Bryan met the deceased man\u2019s fianc\u00e9, which helped in her healing journey. She attended the man&#8217;s funeral, where she was greeted by grateful family members who were thankful that someone was with him.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest takeaway Riehman-Bryan has after the tragedy is to always value humanity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can value other people\u2019s lives without knowing them,\u201d Riehman-Bryan said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s health care in general. People walk in, and we have no idea who they are or what their story is, and we form such a bond and connection with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><div class=\"su-row\">\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-2-3 su-column-centered\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;color: #930718\">You Make Extraordinary Possible<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\">Together, we recognize and honor the qualities within ourselves by shining a spotlight on how each and every one of us improve lives in big ways and small.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uchealthpoints.isrewards.com\/Recognition\/Award\/FormFlex.aspx?pr=JAwX5qZPSOA=&#038;m=N\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-flat\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#A22343;border-color:#821c36;border-radius:56px\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#be657c;border-radius:56px;text-shadow:none\"> Share a story<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valuing humanity Tessa Riehman-Bryan graduated from nursing school in May and began her first job as a registered nurse at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital in July.
