Hello and welcome to my unit!
I’m Belinda Coakley, MSA, BSN, RN, CNOR, Manager of the Nights, Evenings, and Weekend (N/E/W) team, in the Adult Operating Room. We are located on the third floor of Vanderbilt University Hospital.
The environment on our unit is fast-paced, flexible, and team-oriented with a focus on providing excellent surgical care to accommodate all our patient population.
We care for adult patients being treated for emergent, urgent, or scheduled surgeries. Our patients are unique because we care for a diverse population requiring surgical intervention.
One of the perks of working on my unit is the vast diversity of our patients. Teamwork is paramount for our unit. Our team members include RNs, CSTs, and both RN and ST First Assists.
Our nurses are successful because they believe our patient’s safety comes first and they believe in multi-disciplinary collaborative teamwork. We encourage professional growth.
We encourage professional growth.
