"In high school, the number one thing on my vision board was to be a nurse. I came here for my nursing clinical years ago, but even to this day, I'm still learning," said Sonya Daniels, #TeamGrady Charge Nurse in our Cancer Center. Sonya has dedicated 26 years to serving patients at Grady, and her commitment and passion for nursing continue to grow. "We see many different patients, and things can be hectic, but it just takes that one patient who turns your day around to tell you how much your care makes a difference. Those moments are the best part of my days at Grady." 🏥 💙 #GradyNurse #PatientCare #CorrellPavilion

“All my life, I have worked with Deaf and Hard-of-hearing people, and it is so important for everyone to have access to communication,” said Erika Bravo, #TeamGrady American Sign Language (ASL) Medical interpreter. As our first ASL medical interpreter at Grady, Erika is dedicated to breaking down communication barriers and ensuring our Deaf and Hard-of-hearing patients receive the best possible care. 🧏 🏥 “Now, when a Deaf patient comes in, we don’t have to call an agency and wait for someone to arrive, which can take over an hour, said Erika” “A patient can have an in-person ASL interpreter here whenever there is an emergency.” Below, Erika shares three tips to remember when caring for deaf or head-of-hearing patients. • Even if you use an interpreter, always speak directly to your patient. • If you can help it, limit the number of people talking simultaneously at the patient’s bedside. This can make things challenging for a deaf person who can’t follow many conversations. • When entering a patient’s room, flipping the lights on and off or partially opening the door and waving your hand is always preferred instead of knocking.
