Working in the critical access ER, every day looks different but I enjoy the constant growth, the camaraderie as a team, and the way we're constantly improving to fit the changing needs of our community. It's fulfilling to work for a hospital that enables me to provide exceptional health care while also ministering love to those in their time of need. I hope you know how important you are in each person’s life you touch." Elise Staudinger RN - Emergency Room, Mercy Hospital Washington "Throughout my career, it has been my conviction that every patient should be cherished as a unique creation of God’s, which is also one of Mercy’s core values. I am thankful for all the nurses out there who pursue this mission of caring in the ER. As an ER nurse, I am blessed to have the occasion to extend myself into the lives of each person I care for. You will never find another profession that is more rewarding, challenging, exciting, interesting, or thought-provoking. Louis "I’ve been with Mercy for almost 16 years. I will continue to give my best to every patient.” Sara Lloyd Respiratory Therapist, Mercy Hospital St. I want to help, whether that involves administering medications, managing a ventilator, or just holding a patient’s hand and listening to them. I love what I do! Working the front-lines through the pandemic has brought me back to why I chose to become a respiratory therapist at Mercy. Most countries do not observe DST though.Slide 3 of 4 Through the years, I have seen many changes to my profession, but one thing has never changed for me. In these countries time zone offsets from UTC change twice a year. Time zone offsets from UTC range from UTC-12:00 to UTC+14:00.Īlmost all countries in Europe and North America as well as many other countries observe Daylight Saving Time (DST) and put their clocks an hour forward in the spring and an hour back in the autumn. UTC corresponds to mean solar time on the Prime or Greenwich Meridian (0° longitude). One notable exception is China where Beijing time serves as the official time all over the country.Ĭoordinated Universal Time or UTC is the reference point to determine time zone offsets. Countries whose territory stretches from West to East by a significant distance, such as Russia, USA, Canada, Brazil and some others, are usually divided into a few time zones. There are also cases when adjacent time zone difference equals 30 or 45 minutes.įor most countries the entire country’s territory lies within the same time zone. Time difference between adjacent time zones normally equals one hour, though sometimes time in neighbouring time zones may differ by two or more hours. Time zone boundaries usually follow country or administrative borders. All places within the same time zone observe the same time. All of the Earth’s surface is divided into time zones. In everyday life people use official local time which almost always differs from solar time. Another consequence of this rotation is the fact that while moving by 15° from West to East local solar time increases by an hour. The Earth’s rotation on its axis leads to change between day and night. The length of a solar day is determined by the time that it takes for the Earth to complete a full rotation around its axis and equals 24 hours.
