Exemplary Professional Practice A Magnet Moment “The most amazing special Magnet moments for me are those times when you win over the trust of the patient, which enables you to teach them how to care for themselves and improve their health. Nurse retention is high at Meridian so when patients are readmitted or use our outpatient facility, it’s a “safe” place for them as they see familiar faces of trusted professionals. My patients have enjoyed knowing that when Riverview Medical Center first got Magnet status, we were the first system in the country to have all campuses Magnet certified.” Marilyn Noesges, R.N. Riverview Medical Center, 4 South 2010 NJSNA C.A.R.E.S. Award for Nursing Excellence in Clinical Practice Kimberly McCourt, R.N., MSN, APN, CCRN Heart Failure Coordinator/Adult Nurse Practitioner Jersey Shore University Medical Center Kim McCourt built her role as a nurse practitioner on a foundation of over 20 years of experience in cardiac intensive care. She now expertly applies standards of practice to manage, support, and coordinate care for the growing congestive heart failure population during acute episodic illness and exacerbation of their chronic disease. Kim develops collaborative plans of care as she works with 38 physician associates in delivering inpatient and outpatient cardiac care. Through her practice, she has consistently demonstrated a high level of knowledge and expertise in the area of leadership, management, and patient care. Kim has developed protocols for DVT management, initiated outpatient inotropic infusion services, tracked patient progress through tele-medicine, and is developing updated CHF clinical pathways. She has conducted nursing research related to neseritide infusion, epicardial pacing, use of low molecular weight heparin in the Cardiac Cath Lab, and has participated in clinical trials that included cardiac patients. Kim actively advocates for her patients and assures their rights as she delivers safe and ethical care. She carefully manages patients’ cardiac volumes, working with her nursing colleagues to minimize the use of medications and reduce hospital length of stay. Kim’s service to the profession includes teaching Advanced Cardiac Life Support. She is also a frequent speaker at the Meridian Health APN network, monthly nursing orientation, and the Acute Care Nurse Practitioner convention. Her education extends to the community where she has presented topics related to women and heart disease and heat stroke in the elderly. Kim possesses exemplary clinical skills and a commitment to caring that acknowledges the interpersonal connection between the nurse, patient, and family in the delivery of cardiac health care. “Kim prizes honesty and integrity above all else, and sets the standard higher for herself,” says Nancy Shafer-Winter, R.N., MSN, NE-BC, senior manager of Patient Care at Jersey Shore University Medical Center. “Her self motivation, dedication to quality care, and enthusiastic approach to accomplishing personal and professional goals can only contribute to Meridian Health.” 2010 NJSNA C.A.R.E.S.
