Rushanda, was recognized by two of her coworkers while on an assignment where she was promoted from flow monitor to emotional support. The first coworker shared, “Today I received my first vaccine. It was a very pleasant experience. I met Rushanda and she put me at ease with her knowledge. I am in healthcare myself and now that I’m on the other side as a patient, I can tell you what a great experience it was!

Another coworker added, “Rushanda is extremely helpful and consoling. She is a great nurse!!”

Well done Rushanda! We’re proud to have nurses like you on our team!

 

A shining patient review for RN, Christina

Aya traveler, Christina, received a complimentary letter from a patient who wrote, “Christina is a nurse of knowledge, wisdom and understanding. She is friendly and caring in nature. She is efficient when spending time with patients and keeps you informed that she has not forgotten, but is trying to obtain answers. She gives help, and makes sense of procedures and follows up on tests and doctor reports. She contributes new ideas when we are being treated and in the process of healing. She is never harsh, and provides medical attention gracefully. She thoroughly explains new medication. She does not say, ‘Here are your meds,’ and leave. When I could not physically care for myself, Christina volunteered to ‘suit up’ and help me when I was embarrassed. She is an A+ nurse with honors.”

Christina, it’s clear you go above and beyond for your patients, and it doesn’t go unnoticed. Keep up the impeccable work!

Aya traveler, Miles, is nominated for a DAISY Award!

RN, Miles, was nominated for a DAISY Award by a patient who was touched by his expert care. Read the heartfelt nomination below:

“I was in the hospital for two nights. Everyone was very helpful, pleasant, professional and caring. One RN, Miles, went above and beyond. He cares, and it is very obvious he loves his job. I understand that the hospitals may be short on staff, but he kept on smiling. He is a very thorough gentleman. Someone mentioned he was a traveling nurse, but you would never know. Miles made a great example, and is a true professional. He sets a great example for all the people he is working with. A true pleasure and a great asset! I ask that Miles be considered for the DAISY Award. I’ve been in four different local hospitals and he is the best I’ve encountered!”

Miles, your patients are fortunate to receive care from such a skilled and caring nurse. Congratulations on your nomination!

RN, Juan, wins a Heart Huddle Award

Aya traveler, Juan, was awarded a Heart Huddle Award by his facility after being recognized by his patients for “bringing his heart to work.” Juan’s award was featured on his facility’s Facebook page, which shared:

“One patient recognized Juan for making her care personal and building a connection with him. Juan shared with the patient his experience with cancer in his family. It helped the patient feel like Juan would take very good care of her.

Another patient recognized Juan for being kind and considerate of her husband. She was very ill and her husband was trying to do everything for her as she was in considerable pain. Juan gave her medication, but more importantly allowed the patient’s husband to share in her care, supporting him and helping him feel he was making a difference. After the patient was settled, Juan offered her husband a chair and thanked the husband for all of his help.”

Congratulations, Juan, on this recognition and thank you for providing heartfelt care to your patients!
