On the occasion of the upcoming International Labor Day, in order to promote the spirit of dedication and professionalism, highlight exemplary role models, and inspire all employees to strive for progress and achieve outstanding results, our hospital has organized the third “Top Ten Employees for Dedication and Professionalism” selection event.

All departments attached great importance to this initiative and meticulously organized the selection and nomination process, taking into account the nominees’ day-to-day performance, professional expertise, teamwork, and other relevant factors. Following careful deliberation, it has been decided to confer the honorary title of “Top Ten Dedicated and Devoted Employees” of Nanjing Zijin Hospital upon the following 10 colleagues (listed in alphabetical order by surname):

Chen Ya HDU nurse in the Department of Critical Care Medicine at the Jiangning Campus, with 4 years of service.

With compassion as her guiding light and expertise as her sharp tool, she has forged a path of warmth along the thorny road of pressure‑ulcer care.

Since entering the field of pressure‑ulcer care at the beginning of 2023, she has approached her work with a true “craftsman’s spirit,” meticulously attending to every detail. Over the course of the year, she completed dressing changes for 30 pressure ulcers, achieving complete healing in 20 cases. Behind an average monthly frequency of 18 dressings lies countless days and nights of unwavering dedication and perseverance. When faced with a stage IV pressure ulcer—a 7×10 cm necrotic wound on the sacrococcygeal region—she skillfully performed precise debridement and implemented evidence‑based nursing care to defuse the risk of infection. Within just one month, the wound had shrunk to 7×6 cm, and fresh granulation tissue emerged like bamboo shoots breaking through the soil, vividly demonstrating the essence of the principle: “three parts treatment, seven parts nursing.”

Wang Yisu Resident physician and departmental quality control officer at the Qinhuai Campus, with 2 years of service.

With a compassionate heart as her pen, she writes a warm chapter of safeguarding life.

In clinical practice, she weaves a safety net through “anticipatory thinking,” maintaining 48-hour on‑call shifts year-round to tackle complex challenges. From helping Guillain–Barré patients regain independent ambulation after lower‑extremity paralysis, to enabling individuals with spinal cord injuries to achieve continence and functional recovery, her precise interventions have reshaped the trajectories of dozens of patients. Prioritizing patient safety, she strengthens protective measures by implementing daily family briefings for critically ill patients and team‑based multidisciplinary meetings for those in rehabilitation, ensuring that both patients and their families fully understand their condition assessments and rehabilitation plans. By addressing potential conflicts at their earliest stages, she has simultaneously elevated the success rate of high‑risk resuscitations and patient satisfaction.

In the department’s development, she has laid a solid foundation through “quality‑control innovation,” driving a significant leap in the compliance rate of electronic health records. With one A‑grade medical record after another and meticulously accurate data sets, she has exemplified unwavering commitment to the ironclad principles of medical quality.

At the Department of Humanistic Care, she embodies the “Five‑Heart Service” — patient listening, meticulous procedures, empathetic explanations, thoughtful follow-ups, and warm, compassionate interactions — bringing comfort to patients. As a result, ADL scores improve not just in numbers, but in the smiles of patients who regain their dignity, forging a legendary record of zero complaints and unwavering trust between doctors and patients.

Liu Lei Rehabilitation therapist at the Jiangning Campus, with 9 years of experience.

He steers with expertise and sails with compassionate care, forging a path to recovery with every breath of life.

Since taking root at Nanjing Zijin Hospital in 2016, he has stood as a pillar of expertise, safeguarding his patients’ “life‑saving valves.” From tackling severe pulmonary infections to achieving breakthroughs in tracheal extubation, from the precise implementation of prone ventilation to the innovative application of balloon‑assisted lung inflation, he has helped more than a hundred critically ill patients shorten their hospital stays and regain unobstructed breathing. In 2021, he returned, bringing with him the essence of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation from Jiangsu Provincial People’s Hospital, and, embracing his role as a mentor, trained nine specialized therapists, refining fragmented techniques into a cohesive system and establishing a new benchmark for regional cardiopulmonary rehabilitation.

Wang Mengying Resident physician and departmental quality control officer at the Qinhuai Campus, with 4 years of service.

With skillful hands and a compassionate heart as her brush, and a sense of responsibility as her ink, she paints the noble calling of medicine upon the canvas of life.

Since joining the hospital, Comrade Wang Mengying has consistently placed patient safety above all else. With her keen powers of observation and forward-thinking approach, she has painstakingly unraveled even the most complex cases, safeguarding lives: from meticulously crafting treatment plans to managing critical emergencies, from anticipating risks to defusing crises. Relying on her solid professional expertise and calm, on-the-spot judgment, she has turned more than a hundred life‑and‑death races into opportunities for survival, upholding the dignity of the medical profession with unwavering rigor and a record of “zero errors.”

As a young physician on the team, she tackles challenges with innovative thinking and demonstrates her passion through decisive execution. Today, she is growing rapidly; tomorrow, she will undoubtedly become a pillar of the organization.

Deng Jiaojiao Nurse at the Qinhuai Campus, 4 years of service.

With an ordinary body, she has forged a spirit of nursing excellence, measured responsibility with every step, and safeguarded lives with her warmth.

From the early‑morning management of emergency carts to the late‑night scrutiny of medical records, she has infused her belief that “details are as vital as life” into every corner of her work: the careful count of medications and equipment each month is the key to safeguarding patient safety; her steadfast presence during the pandemic, bravely stepping forward to collect nucleic acid samples, stands as a testament to the boundless compassion of a healer; and the gentle, patient voice at the bedside, offering clear answers with quiet care, is a soothing remedy that eases anxiety.

She upholds clinical standards with rigorous quality control; she earns banners of honor and applause through her sincerity.

From a fresh newcomer to the workforce to a seasoned nursing leader, she has consistently embodied the Nightingale spirit through her steadfast commitment to “seeing true character in the smallest of deeds,” writing an unregrettable chapter as a dedicated nurse with the passion and vitality of youth.

Zhu Hong Nurse at the Qinhuai Campus, 3 years of service.

Over four years, the daily rendezvous at dawn—arriving an hour early—is her profound reverence for life.

The meticulousness with which she tidies the wards and verifies physicians’ orders forms the quiet foundation of patients’ peace of mind. During the darkest days of the pandemic, she stood alone in courageous solitude, shouldering both nursing and cleaning duties as a “torchbearer,” working tirelessly for more than ten days without rest, and forging the department’s lifeline with her sweat.

She uses quality control as her benchmark to safeguard the safety threshold of oxygen cylinders and, through zero‑error management, fortifies the protective barrier for consumable supplies.

She is the “ferrywoman” of life, building a bridge of hope through intravenous access in the race against time in hypovolemic shock, and after hours of relentless battle, finally ushering in the dawn of survival.

She is the patient’s “night watchman”; during holidays, the emergency call always sets her hurrying to the ward, and every late night spent battling death is a testament to the compassionate heart of a healer.  

Shao Nan Chief Pharmacist at the Pharmacy Center, with 10 years of experience.

As the “gatekeeper” of pharmaceuticals and medical consumables, she ensures zero errors in qualification reviews, procurement planning, and settlement confirmations.

As the “translator” of health insurance policies, she meticulously maintains the three major catalog codes, implements dynamic price adjustments and monthly settlement summaries, and leverages data to weave a robust reimbursement safety net for patients.

As a “trailblazer” in emergency response, she quelled a dangerous situation with a single fire extinguisher, defusing the crisis in just three minutes and embodying the sense of responsibility that defines a healthcare professional.

Over five years, she has rolled up her sleeves to donate blood five times, pouring 1,400 milliliters of life‑saving blood into a silent testament of profound compassion.

Day after day, she shuttles between the clinical team, finance, and suppliers, using communication to build bridges for resource allocation and leveraging quality control to fortify the foundation of patient safety.

She is the “iron‑fisted enforcer” of institutional protocols, yet also a “caring companion” who delivers warm, patient‑centered service. Amid the minutiae of performance reporting and the tedious tasks of reagent requisition, with meticulous rigor that leaves no room for oversight and an unwavering dedication that never lets her rest, she embodies the multifaceted responsibilities of a modern‑day physician.

Li Miji Nurse at the Jiangning Campus, 3 years of service.

She is the “guardian” of the ward and, even more so, the “safeguard” of life.

On August 13 last year, during a critical moment, faced with a patient whose condition suddenly deteriorated en route to the hospital, she remained calm under pressure and swiftly initiated life-saving measures with her solid professional skills: clearing the airway, administering oxygen, and collaborating closely with the physician to ensure precise medication administration. Her seamless, expertly executed sequence of interventions pulled the patient back from the brink of death. The patient’s pulse rose from 40 beats per minute to 61, pulse oximetry improved from 75% to 93%, and blood pressure, once unmeasurable, stabilized at 83/54 mmHg—each vital sign’s steady improvement reflecting the strength of her relentless race against time.

With meticulous observation, she safeguards health; with decisive action, she turns the tide. This is Li Miji— a guardian of life who builds trust through expertise and spreads warmth through her deeds!

Ni Na Nurse at the Jiangning Campus, 3 years of service.

In clinical nursing, she serves as the gatekeeper of precise execution.

Daily morning care, beginning promptly at 7:30 a.m., meticulous bedside assessments of patients’ breathing during nightly rounds, and scrupulous verification when carrying out physicians’ orders—she embodies reverence for life through an impeccable record of zero errors. It is precisely this painstaking attention to detail that enabled the timely detection of atrial fibrillation in a patient with cerebrovascular disease, securing crucial time for effective treatment.

In patient care, she is the “guardian” who warms the heart.

Faced with the anxiety of patients with hemiplegia, she patiently offers reassurance, encouragement, and companionship, helping them regain confidence in their recovery.

Faced with patients who cannot sleep due to pain, she dispels the gloom of illness through meticulous care and heartfelt conversations, filling the ward with warmth and hope.

Du Xiaoqing Nurse at the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Center, with 8 years of experience.

Over eight years at the hospital, and four years dedicated to the field of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, she has infused patients’ recovery with both professional expertise and compassionate care, driven by a rigorous work ethic and unwavering competence.

As a hyperbaric oxygen therapy nurse, she serves both as a guardian of safety and an educator of health. Before entering the chamber, she meticulously inspects all safety protocols and patiently explains the treatment guidelines; during the session, she closely monitors patients’ vital signs to ensure the procedure is both safe and effective. When faced with family members who are anxious and emotionally overwhelmed—especially those experiencing their first chamber visit—she empathizes with their concerns and leverages her professional expertise to allay their fears, thereby safeguarding patient safety while offering comfort and reassurance to their loved ones.

All staff members are encouraged to take the recognized colleagues as role models, emulating their dedication and selfless commitment to their duties, as well as their relentless pursuit of excellence and a work ethic that strives for continuous improvement. By doing so, they will further strengthen their sense of responsibility and mission, continually enhance the quality of their services and professional competence, and make even greater contributions to the hospital’s high‑quality development.
