A nurse at Poplar Springs Hospital in Petersburg has been awarded a “Doing the RIGHT Thing” commendation for keeping a suicidal man talking on the phone until emergency personnel arrived to rescue him from a bridge. Poplar Springs Hospital executives presented the award to Karen Heidorn on May 29. Heidorn, who has more than 13 years of experience handling trauma and high-stress situations, spoke with the man for more than a half-hour.
