Aya Brag Board

A DAISY Award nomination was given to Amber

A patient nominated Amber for a DAISY Award for the amazing care she provided.

The patient wrote, “I am 77 years old and have experienced nursing in hospitals in many states in my life, so I know it well. I had Amber for night care in a recent hospital visit. She was so outstanding that I asked where I could thank her. She was — while always being professional — totally caring and compassionate. Her knowledge of everything concerning my care was exceptional. She helped me understand my condition, helped me explain how I was feeling and — so importantly — kept me on my medicine schedule perfectly. I have never had a more knowledgeable nurse. Her excellence in every aspect of my care helped me to improve and be able to go home. I hope she is appreciated because she is so outstanding and excellent.”

Way to go, Amber! Your attention to detail and quality care make all the difference for your patients. Keep it up!

Kristin receives a DAISY Award nomination

A patient’s family member nominated Kristin for a DAISY Award for the attentive and thoughtful care she gave their child!

The family member wrote, “It’s hard to put the greatness of someone’s spirit into words. The things that make a nurse great for autoimmune patients are the things that often go unnoticed. It’s caring about the tiny details that give clues as to what’s going on inside and how the patient’s health is trending. It’s not shying away from awkward things. It’s being kind without being fake. It’s being real without being a downer. Checking in often. Taking interest without being nosy or intrusive. Kristin understands the big picture and watches for those tiny details that might indicate something going wrong. We have been very lucky to have her as a nurse. Kristin is awesome!”

Congratulations on the DAISY Award nomination, Kristin! Your patients and their families appreciate you, and so do we! ...

Summer is praised by her charge nurse

A charge nurse praised Summer for her fantastic work!

The charge nurse said, “Summer is absolutely wonderful, and we are so grateful for her. On a Sunday night shift, she was very flexible about staffing, which I as charge nurse was so grateful for. During her shift in an unfamiliar unit, she picked up on subtle changes in a patient’s status and stepped in to help save his life after he stopped breathing! She’s flexible, caring and smart. I wish I could have 100 travelers just like her!”

Way to go, Summer! Your team is grateful for you, and so are we. Keep up the great work! ...

Emily received a DAISY Award nomination

A fellow nurse nominated Emily for a DAISY Award for going above and beyond to make her patients comfortable.

The nurse wrote, “As a nurse working beside Emily, I have noticed time and time again how she goes above and beyond for her patients.

She even applied blackout curtains to all the windows to promote adequate sleep for her patient.”
