Many of her patients have been transferred to the floor with a diagnosis that brings feelings of anxiety for the unknown.<\/p>\n<p>She tries her best to mitigate the unease by providing a friendly and compassionate environment and letting patients know that some rooms on the floor have a \u201cmillion-dollar view\u201d of Pikes Peak.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Ferriman, an acute care nurse, received a call about a new patient who had been diagnosed with a brain tumor. Her first step was making sure the patient felt safe and comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease tell him we are excited to meet him; he has a private room and view of the mountains,\u201d Ferriman said.<\/p>\n<p>During the initial call, Ferriman learned that the patient would make one pit stop during his seven-mile trip from UCHealth Grandview Hospital to Memorial Hospital Central. En route, he planned to stop home to see his beloved dog, Alice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes family members and personal items like blankets or pillows, or even a pet, can really improve someone\u2019s stay,\u201d Ferriman said.<\/p>\n<p>With coordination, and in accordance with the <a id=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/myuch.sharepoint.com\/:w:\/r\/sites\/srvcs-int-services\/_layouts\/15\/Doc.aspx?sourcedoc=%7BB1B618AD-88E7-4AEA-8C6D-457A7E4AA532%7D&amp;file=Pet%20Visitation%20MH.docx&amp;action=default&amp;mobileredirect=true&amp;DefaultItemOpen=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pet visitation policy at Memorial<\/a>, arrangements were made for Alice to visit the hospital. Two weeks into his hospital say, the floppy-eared dog with white fur and brown patches, walked in the patient\u2019s room.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always try to go above and beyond, just because we do have a difficult population. We have people who are confused, people who like to hit, people who woke up and they can\u2019t use half their body, or they\u2019re scared because it\u2019s something with their brain,\u201d Ferriman said.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, colleague Amanda Martinez submitted a Celebrating You recognition for Ferriman. Martinez is an emergency department nurse at Grandview Hospital, and she called Ferriman during the initial report about the patient.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe reminded me of how little kindness and compassion costs, and how easy it is to spend them,\u201d Martinez wrote in the recognition. \u201cWhat a bright spot for such a difficult situation.
