#queensuhealth students Abigail de Jong (Year 2 Nursing) and Cameron Kennedy (Final Year Nursing) are making a difference with empathy, intuition, and meaningful care. For patient Ruth Woodman, these students have been lifelines during her recovery, offering more than just mobility assistance—they bring comfort, connection, and meaningful support. Thank you, Abigail, Cameron, and the mobility team, for showing the future of compassionate healthcare in action! 💛
⚡ Go Go Mobility Team! ⚡ This team of students puts the power in teamwork. Ruth Woodman calls them the 🌟‘Power Rangers.’🌟 But there’s no morphin’ time here. These students’ superpowers are intuition and empathy, and they are armed with time. Soon after she was admitted to the hospital with low sodium levels, she was visited by members of Kingston Health Sciences Centre’s mobility team, whose work includes assisting with getting people moving and activities of daily living. Woodman admits she was not ready, at that time, to budge from her bed unless necessary, but soon realized the team was there to do so much more. “They have been my lifeline, my superheroes, helping me at this difficult time by connecting with me like family and doing simple things that make a huge difference,” says Woodman. “I’m amazed at their skill set. They pick up on the smallest things that are often taken for granted, like being able to reach for a personal item.” Realizing that Woodman didn’t have the strength to get out of bed, let alone stand to look for something she needed, Abigail de Jong, a second-year Queen’s University nursing student and mobility team member, took the time to organize her things in plain sight, making it easier for friends and other care team members to find. “We have time on our side,” says de Jong, “if a patient needs 30 minutes, we can give it and they won’t feel rushed, which helps build their self-confidence and confidence in us.” From Woodman’s patient perspective, the mobility team is exactly what is needed in a hospital system that is regularly caring for more patients with complex medical conditions. “The mobility team is amazing and one that every hospital in Canada should have,” she says. Not only is the team good for patients, it is helping prepare the next generation of nurses and physical and occupational therapists for a rewarding career in health care. When it was ‘go time’ – the point in her recovery to get up, walk to the other side of her bed and sit in the chair, Woodman put her trust in her ‘Power Rangers’ and got stronger each time she moved. “Having never been hospitalized for an illness – it was a bit scary – and the support I received from the mobility team was important to getting well again,” says Woodman. #ONhealth #healthcare #nursingstudent
