Justin Tyme – a registered nurse – joins the unit after successfully completing new employee and unit orientation. He had worked for 10 years in a similar unit at St. Elsewhere but grew tired of the 2 hour daily commute. He is thrilled to be working closer to home. The staff is ecstatic as the unit has been short-handed and the census high.
The staff likes working with Justin. He is a friendly fellow and frequently brings hot donuts and a huge thermos of Peets coffee for the staff. He is always willing to help with lifting and turning patients and often is the first one to respond to patient lights.
