Aya traveler, Brooke, receives a DAISY Award nomination!

RN, Brooke, received a DAISY Award nomination after going above and beyond to bring comfort to a patient and their family.

Brooke’s thoughtfulness was recognized by her manager, who wrote, “We welcomed Brooke into our ICU family a few months ago and she has been working alongside our staff to care for acutely ill patients during our Covid surge.  Brooke is known for her exceptional clinical skills and positive attitude. Brooke went above and beyond and provided not only exceptional care to a patient, but extraordinary service to her family as well. Brooke took the initiative to rally the team to make handprints of a dying mother to present to her young children to bring comfort and peace during their time of mourning and act as a remembrance for years to come. This small act made a huge impact on the patient’s family, our ICU Team and our hospital during a very difficult time. Brooke’s compassion and empathy mirror our mission and deserve recognition and our gratitude. On behalf of the hospital, I would like to say thank you and recognize Brooke for her extraordinary service. We hope she will continue her acts of compassion, care and service alongside our team of exceptional ICU nurses for many months to come.”

Brooke, we’re awed by your compassion and so proud to have a nurse like you working on our team. Congratulations on your nomination!
