A collection of kudos, shoutouts and celebrations of our travel clinicians' (many) accomplishments.

Aya traveler, Veronica, impresses her facility manager

RN, Veronica, received positive feedback from her facility manager for her impressive attention to detail.

The manager wrote, “A very special kudos to Veronica, who promptly noted a neuro change in a patient that quickly led to getting them to IR. I was very impressed with this catch coming from a new nurse to our unit…While settling in the patient, Veronica noted a right facial droop that prompted an additional exam, where she found the patient to be mute with a new right arm drift. Needless to say, she called quickly, and we imaged the patient and got her to IR in the middle of the night. Very good save on Veronica’s part!”

Veronica, your quick action made all the difference for this patient. We’re so proud!

Aya nurse, Robin’s, coworker submits a note of recognition

RN, Robin’s, coworker submitted a “Reason for Recognition” note showing appreciation for her willingness to support their team.

It said, “Robin helped me in many ways that I appreciate so much. When she had downtime she went and stocked rooms, and when I was in a bind checking in patients, she graciously offered to help another nurse check in a patient in isolation. Then when she was asked if she felt comfortable spending some of her shift in another unit, she was so enthusiastic about helping out the other unit and floating for a bit. While Robin may think that’s minor, it made a HUGE difference. I’m lucky to have the opportunity to meet Robin and work with her! You’re a great nurse!”

Robin, your flexibility and positive attitude make you a model nurse. We’re so proud to have you on the Aya team!

RN, Denika, receives a DAISY Award nomination!

Traveler, Denika, was called an “angel nurse” by a patient’s wife for being a positive light that’s changed their lives forever.

The patient’s wife wrote, “After arriving by ambulance in the wee hours of the morning, my husband went through many lab tests, X-rays, MRIs, PT, OT sessions, a cardiac cath and a necessary valve replacement. After 21 stressful, emotional days with so many ups and downs and 21 nights going to sleep after reviewing doctors’ and nurses’ notes and lab results, Denika became his nurse. I knew right away she was special and quickly became our ‘angel nurse.’ She was his biggest cheerleader, celebrating his accomplishments and helping him not get frustrated or down. Denika took such great care of him and made sure he got what was ordered, and even got him a brand new bed she thought would help with his chronic pain. She listened to me as I told her how much he had been through and looked into all of it. Denika made me realize I was a valuable team member advocating for him. No idea or concern I had was dismissed. Walking back to the hotel the nights I knew she would be there until the morning, were the only night I slept soundly without worry. Denika came into my family’s life just when we all needed her. We will always be so grateful to her and she will forever be in our hearts!”

Denika, the way made your patient’s wife feel comfortable and integral to his care is a testament to your superior skill. Keep being the positive light for others!

RN, Ellie, we nominated for a DAISY Award by the mother of her NICU patient for the care and attention she showed to the patient and his whole family.

She performed daily cares for my son while he was in the NICU for his first 9 days of life. She went above and beyond her expected duties to not only take exceptional care of him but also exceeded my expectations by caring for myself and my family. I can’t thank her enough for being there throughout that difficult time and don’t think our outcome could be any better thanks to her skills and genuine love for us and her career! Thank you, Ellie!”

RN, Deyone, has a huge heart — and a DAISY Award nomination!

Travel nurse, Deyone, was nominated for a DAISY Award by a coworker for being an outstanding example of how to lead with compassion and humanity in his nursing practice.

The coworker wrote, “Deyone made remarkable efforts to aid in comforting and humanizing the experience of a patient that was admitted three months ago, and remains on our unit. This patient has cerebral palsy and was near death when he came to us. He has no regular family contacts. Deyone goes in to speak with the patient every time he works, whether he’s the assigned nurse or not. He plays music that the patient likes on his personal phone and speaks to the patient about life, sports and current events. He does what he can to make him feel like a person, not just a patient. The joy Deyone brings to this man is humbling and heartwarming. Deyone displays the art of nursing in an exemplary way. He’s truly an excellent example of how to be a fantastic nurse and a wonderful human being.”

Deyone, we’re inspired by the exceptional care you show your patients. Congratulations on your nomination!

Aya RN, Maureen, gets nominated for a DAISY Award!

A patient shared appreciation for RN, Maureen’s, wealth of knowledge and skillful care by nominating her for a DAISY Award.

The nomination wrote, “There are so many reasons Maureen made a meaningful difference in my care. Maureen is knowledgeable about everything. She’s caring and never made me feel that I’m giving her a hard time. My ileostomy had leaked and I couldn’t fix it myself at that time, she was knowledgeable about what to do, how to do it and she spent all the time I needed to help to fix the issue.”

Maureen, your patients are lucky to have a caring nurse like you. Congratulations on your well-deserved nomination!
