Aya traveler, Chelsea, receives a DAISY Award nomination!

RN, Chelsea, was nominated for a DAISY Award after proving her dedication to her patients and her team, even going above the expectations and duties of her job.

The nominator wrote, “Chelsea is the true embodiment of a compassionate nurse. She’s always seeking ways to go above and beyond for both her patients and her co-workers. When challenges arise, Chelsea is the first to step up to the plate. She faces everything with grace and a smile.

There are two instances I remember when Chelsea really rose to the occasion. Recently, Chelsea had a family that couldn’t find a ride home from the emergency department. No one was able to come to get them and the family didn’t have any money to pay for a ride home. Chelsea ordered a ride for them and used her own funds to get the family home safely.

Chelsea also shows her compassion to her co-workers. She had a coworker who received the devastating news of a miscarriage. Chelsea organized a meal train for this coworker in order to support her during her darkest hours. I believe Chelsea is deserving of this award because she exemplifies what a great nurse is. She’s constantly putting others before herself. I just want to give her the highest honor for doing so.”

Chelsea, your patients and co-workers are so lucky to have you as their nurse. Congratulations on your nomination!
