Chiedza had a morning experience with the Critical Care Outreach Team (CCOT) at Kingston Hospital. I am providing feedback as an CCOT specialist nurse who has supervised and supported Chiedza.

Chiedza is very enthusiastic student and very interested in learning. We had a chance to review a few critically ill patients and attend a peri-arrest call. She had exposure to management of severe sepsis. We discussed the importance of early recognition of sepsis, implementation of sepsis 6 and correlation between sepsis and AKI (acute kidney injury). We discussed her role as junior nurse and how to escalate concerns and call for help. She was able to demonstrate some critical thinking and problem solving strategies. There are some areas of knowledge about sepsis that she can still explore further. From the short interaction we had I have the impression Chiedza will have a successful nursing career and I wish her the best of luck.
