RN, Mishel, wins a DAISY Award!

Aya Traveler, Brenda (who goes by “Mishel”), won a DAISY Award after providing exceptional care to her patient. Read the heartfelt nomination below:

“I am the worst patient any nurse could have. When I first met Brenda, I was in so much pain, I was rude and ignored her when she came into my room, but she gave me my space and she didn’t take it personally. After several hours, I finally spoke to her and told her what I needed. She made it happen, quick, fast, and in a hurry. She was very professional and compassionate towards my situation. She immediately jumped into action and made my stay here as comfortable and possible. During which, she was taking care of patients that were in more critical situations than myself. Her attentiveness and quick response to my needs- go above and beyond her duty as a nurse. Her easy smile and quick wit instantly put me at ease and made me remarkably comfortable with my anxiety of being in the hospital. Out of all my stays in the hospital, which have been many, I have never had a nurse, with such compassion and understanding, take care of me so well. To the point, she anticipates my needs before I even say anything. Brenda treats me like I am her only priority, which I know is definitely not true. Brenda is a credit to the nursing profession and to the facility. Without her, I do not believe I would have stayed as long as my doctors wanted me to stay to heal. Brenda and I talked a lot which helped put a lot in perspective which resulted in my health improving. I have her to thank for my improved health. If any nurse deserves this award, it is Brenda.”

Thank you, Mishel, for all you do for your patients. We’re proud to have nurses like you on our team!
