Erika receives six DAISY Award nominations

Erika received six DAISY Award nominations from patients who were touched by her kindness and above-and-beyond care!

One patient wrote, “I am a liver transplant recipient and received so much positivity from Erika. She took the time to know my family who were here from out of town. You can immediately tell she loves her role! Erika is calm and pleasant and made me smile! From explaining medications and answering questions to making me and my family as comfortable as possible, we couldn’t have asked for a better nurse who truly has a heart of gold! Thank you, Erika, for being a bright ray of sunshine during my recovery! She truly loves her role and does it with such grace and compassion. Thank you! Thank you, a million times!”

Another patient said, “I would take Erika home if I could! She is everything a nurse should be: kind, funny, caring and pleasant. She was always there when she was needed and took time to explain everything. If I wanted something I couldn’t have, she always thought of ways to accommodate me. She goes the extra mile and is a great person, a compassionate friend and the best nurse. Thank you, Erika!”

Another patient added, “I have never experienced a nurse as caring and personable as Erika. Her can-do attitude was evident in everything she did. Her kindness toward my wife was beyond caring. She made sure we understood my care. The compassion and skill she demonstrated were constant throughout my stay. If I was down, she had a way to perk me up. Erika stands out as a great example of strong patient care and compassion. No matter who was working with her, she consistently displayed team effort. I am confident Erika has a positive impact on all the patients and families in her care.”

Six nominations are nothing short of amazing! Congratulations, Erika, and keep it up to good work!
