Karina receives a DAISY Award nomination

A patient’s family member nominated Karina for a DAISY Award for her profound example of what it means to be a top-notch nurse.

The patient’s family member wrote, “Karina represents the ideal nurse: advocating, being up to date with best practices, assessing and recommending care thoroughly, treating the patient and their family with respect and compassion and ultimately acting with extreme professionalism.

“My mother experienced a traumatic injury that nearly drowned her. I was at the hospital nearly every night for a lengthy time to ensure she was taken care of. While the staff was great, Karina was exceptional. Her smile and demeanor were comforting to me and my mom, and any questions or concerns we had were thoroughly addressed. During my mom’s recovery, I was incredibly pleased with Karina’s care.

“I wanted to say goodbye one last time before my mom was discharged, but I was unable to express my gratitude and was informed that Karina was a travel nurse. I know she will move on to continue blessing others with her nursing knowledge, compassion, and professionalism. She is a  most deserving recipient of a DAISY Award.”

Karina, your tender care and attention to detail made a huge impact on your patient and her family. Keep up the good work!
