The patient wrote, “Heather loves her job and it shows. I’m so grateful she was my nurse when I arrived at the hospital after attempting a home birth. Heather was friendly and attentive.

Aya traveler, Andrea, was recognized by a coworker after she went above and beyond for a patient in need of extra support.

A patient recently nominated RN, Lilla, to receive a DAISY Award. This is Lilla’s second DAISY Award nomination this year!
The patient wrote, “From the moment I saw her hit the floor, I knew Lilla was one of the best nurses I had seen in years! She was quick, efficient, kind, professional, patient and funny … Any concern I had, she was deliberate in ensuring I was well and felt safe. Lilla also placed my IV, and I didn’t even feel it. She’s amazing. As a retired, disabled USAF veteran who served as a police officer and combat paramedic, I know how hard and exhausting it can be to do this job. That’s why it must be said that Lilla truly is a super star. Please consider her for this DAISY Award! It would make my heart so happy! Thank you, Lilla, and God bless!”
Two DAISY Award nominations in one year? Lilla, you’re doing a fantastic job. Keep it up!

A coworker nominated RN, Breanna, for a DAISY Award for her strong work ethic, empathy and positive influence on her teammates.
The coworker wrote, “Breanna is the first person to offer help. Whether a baby is down, a hemorrhage is occurring, someone needs a table for delivery, meds need to be pulled, an epidural needs to be set up or someone needs a break from pushing with a patient for three hours, Breanna is there. She’s the hardest working individual I’ve ever met, but her heart makes her shine. She’s kind, compassionate, non-judgmental and loving. She’s a light not only to her patients but to her peers. People gravitate toward her because she touches lives every single day. I couldn’t think of a more deserving person than her to win a DAISY Award.”

A patient nominated travel RN, Alexa, for a DAISY Award for the incredible and touching care she provided.
The patient wrote, “My son and I tested positive for COVID-19 and are currently in isolation. When Alexa was our nurse, she was not only kind and nice to talk to, but she also went above and beyond for us — picking up my groceries and grabbing coffee for me all four days she cared for us. She was also very respectful of my son’s personal space when he wasn’t in the mood for vitals, getting weighed, etc. She was so compassionate. And while all of the nurses have been amazing, Alexa made our stay in isolation much more bearable.”
Alexa, it’s the little things that make all the difference to your patients. Congratulations on this well-deserved nomination!

Kristen was nominated for a DAISY Award and received a wonderful letter from two patients, praising and thank her for the impact she made during their stay.
The letter said, “Words can’t express the high praise we want to offer Kristen regarding the care and medical expertise she displayed during the two hospitalizations of my husband. Her willingness to help was responsible in a large part for my husband’s recovery. Kristen’s suggestions and participation in all aspects of his care contributed to the family’s positivity about the hospital and the staff. There was nothing that was too much for her. Her medical knowledge was so impressive. I have known many nurses — two are in my family — and realize that Kristen was superlative both personally and professionally.
When my husband was discharged, my daughter recognized something was not right with me. She and Kristen listened to my heart and recognized an irregular heartbeat. Kristen sat me in my husband‘s discharge wheelchair and I went directly to the ER. I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and congestive heart failure. Kristen is an exceptional nurse and person. I feel that she was responsible for the positive outcomes of two patients, me and my husband, in one family.
Kristen is an asset and a perfect representation of the hospital. Our gratitude to her on behalf of myself, my husband and our entire family. Thank you is inadequate and there are not enough rewards for her because she is an angel in scrubs!”
Kristen, we’re extremely proud of you and truly inspired by your amazing work!
