Aya RN, Lilla, gets a DAISY Award nomination!

Lilla was nominated for a DAISY Award by a patient who was so impressed by her care, she wished she could clone her!

The patient wrote, “In our busy lives, the easiest thing to do is say, ‘Thanks’..To slow down, have real dialogue and write words of gratitude, is a truly authentic thank you! Lilla was full of energy her entire shift. She always did what she said she was going to do and unlike previous experiences, I didn’t need a GPS to track and find her when I needed her. Her actions show she cares. She’s Hungarian and was able to communicate with an older patient who spoke the language. I told her she’ll never understand how cared for that patient must have felt during her stay. She’s well-rounded and tough, so this profession truly fits her perfectly! I hope nothing but the best for you dear. Whatever you want out of life, I know you’ll be able to obtain it. The world is yours! Keep leading with your heart and humor – WE NEED MORE OF YOU. Blessings, joy and love!”

Lilla, the care you show your patients is heartwarming. We’re so proud to have you on our team!

Aya traveler, Cat, received a DAISY Award for demonstrating what it means to be a nurse and leaving a positive impact on her patient.

The patient wrote, “Cat, as a person and as a professional, embraces all of the exemplary characteristics set forth for the DAISY Award. She’s skilled, empathetic, patient, kind, thoughtful and communicates on a level that transfers and creates hope for the distraught patient. When I entered the hospital, I was scared, felt helpless and as if my life was in a downward spiral. Cat’s constant attentiveness, first to my illness, and then practical measures needed to help me recover and to the broader scope of mind and body healing, opened up the opportunity for complete healing and allowed me to leave the hospital ready to tackle any new or continuing challenges. Her maturity, her intelligence, her willingness to open up her own vulnerabilities, all contributed to my success. Not only has Cat helped me, but by sharing with me, she has positioned me to be more sensitive to others and carry forward her beautiful talents. Thank you, Cat!”
