The annual CANNP Peer Recognition
Award was presented toRobin
Bissingerat
the annual conference.
Robin is the
Neonatal Nurse Practitioner Team Coordinator and
Assistant Professor and Director of the Neonatal Nurse
Practitioner Program at
MUSC.
The following
comments were submitted by two of her
peers:
- Although she has a faculty/leader
role, Robin makes a concerted effort to maintain
her clinical skills in the NICU. This may mean
working beyond her schedule, but it is the
cornerstone of her philosophy: you must be able to
do what you ask of others. She is well respected as
an excellent clinician by all disciplines - it is
not uncommon to see an attending asking her for
clinical input on a difficult case. The nursing
staff also values her input and because of this,
she is involved in many value enhancement projects
that impact nursing care at the bedside. Our teams'
stability/success is a reflection of this
individual's hard work. She is an outspoken
advocate of the practice group, often taking
unpopular positions to assure that we are able to
continue to deliver quality care with adequate
staffing, no small task in this era of cost
containment and number crunching. However, she does
not do so without reflection and examination of
multiple practice models that will meet the needs
of the NNP group, yet remain within the financial
vision of the
hospital.
- As a team leader, she always
challenges us to stretch out of our comfort zone in
our role. Whether assuming a faculty role,
returning to school, leading off a unit based
project or running for a regional or national
office, the message is always, "I expect this from
you, because I know you are capable of great
things, and I will support you in any way that I
can".
