Andi is complimented for her quality care

A patient’s family member praised Andi for her compassion and patient advocacy.

They wrote, “I want to compliment the superb care provided by Andrea. She was my brother’s nurse during the day and checked in on him while he was not her assigned patient. Andrea always had a positive attitude and a smile on her face. My brother’s health crisis was an unexpected tragedy for our family, devasting and so very stressful. The care and compassion she showed were not only a comfort to him but also to my niece and me. Andrea immediately made my brother feel at ease with her compassionate and kind demeanor. She was reassuring, very proactive and attentive to all his needs. She was a true advocate for his medical care and helped us to navigate the system. Her love for the nursing profession shone through in every interaction. My brother was extremely fortunate to have such a caring nurse during that horrible time. She was a blessing and an angel to my brother, and I pray she will continue to be assigned to him during his stay. Andrea touched my heart, and I will never forget her and the extra steps she took to advocate for my brother’s health. She is truly an extraordinary nurse who deserves praise and recognition.”

Congratulations, Andi! Your compassionate care means the world to your patients and their families. Keep up the great work! ...

Haneen is nominated for a DAISY Award

A patient’s family member nominated Haneen for a DAISY Award for her compassion and tender care.

The nomination wrote, “My father was worried about how his surgery and the subsequent days would go, but thanks to Haneen, it was amazing. In the first few minutes, she assisted my father in several small ways, many of which demonstrated compassion that exceeded our expectations for a good nurse. She genuinely cared about his comfort, wound care, medication and the supporting apparatus while also alleviating his fear. My father was an infantryman in the airborne and has needed this surgery for as long as I can remember. He has been afraid to have it done. Haneen’s compassion and tender care made all the difference. I believe she was instrumental in his decision to come back and have his other surgery done. Bravo, Haneen!”

Your quality care is changing lives one patient at a time, Haneen. Congratulations on the DAISY Award nomination! ...

Kelli receives a DAISY Award nomination

Kelli was nominated for a DAISY Award for her comforting care.

The nomination wrote, “Kelli always goes above and beyond when caring for her patients. Today, a young patient came to the emergency department. He was terrified and all tears. With Kelli’s amazing, therapeutic communication skills, she was able to calm him down and turn his frown upside down. Within five minutes, the patient was no longer scared and enjoyed his time with Kelli. For someone to be able to comfort and build trust within minutes of meeting a terrified young patient in an emergency department speaks volumes to the care she provides as a pediatric ER nurse.”

Congratulations on the nomination, Kelli! Your team sees and appreciates the work you do, and so do we! ...

Breanna receives a DAISY Award nomination

A coworker nominated Breanna for a DAISY Award for her compassionate care.

The coworker wrote, “Breanna took time during her shift to get a long-term patient’s clothes washed. This patient is in an acute care unit, and has regular clothes to wear, but they were all dirty. Breanna took time to get washing powders and wash the patient’s clothes on shift. She goes the extra mile with all of her patients and steps it up even more when she sees a need that is basic to most, but unusual in an acute care setting.”

Your team members see you dedication and compassionate care, Breanna. Congratulations on the DAISY Award nomination. Keep up the good work! ...
