Bridget Scott

Registered Nurse II
Apheresis Clinic
William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital 

First UTSW job: Registered Nurse, Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) at the former St. Paul University Hospital.

Best part about my job: Having the opportunity to make a patient feel better.

How co-workers describe me: Dependable and patient.

Recipe for success: Being a team worker. When I played sports in high school, the coach often told us to “hold the rope,” meaning do your part as an individual to support the success of the team. That’s something I’ve taken with me and applied to my nursing care, because I believe it benefits our patients tremendously.

What energizes me at work: Making my patients feel comfortable.

Best UTSW memory: My best memories are of the many people I’ve met and all the celebrations we had on the night shift in CVICU.

I wish I were an instant expert at: Home repairs. I wouldn’t have to depend on contractors.

I’m really good at: Home decorating.

Surprising fact: I’m a Dallas Cowboys fan.

Claim to fame: Receiving both the Diana and Richard C. Strauss Service Excellence Award and the Meritorious Service Award.
