Aya traveler, Corinne, impresses her team

RN, Corinne, received praise from her coworkers and manager for her exceptional care and work ethic. Read what they had to say below:

She is punctual, personable, has an impeccable work ethic, loves to teach and most importantly, she cares about the patients and treats them as if they are family. It is refreshing to see her provide care and she inspires me to pursue a career in nursing. Patients need the kind of care she provides to aid in the healing process.

Two nominations and a DAISY Award win for Aya RN, Tonya.

Aya traveler, Tonya, received the prestigious DAISY Award after receiving two nominations for her teamwork and excellent care.

Tonya’s first nomination was submitted by a colleague who wrote, “I have had the pleasure of working side by side with Tonya. She is phenomenal at what she does and cares very deeply for those around her. The one night in particular I recall working with her, a beat was not missed in making sure my patient was cared for and stable. I did not have the confidence that night, the patient was just too complex for my normal and Tonya was right there making sure step by step things were being done. She never stepped over me but worked alongside me and showed me that I actually had the confidence to keep this patient stable. With the help from many other staff members, the night turned into a good night, but without Tonya, I am unsure how it would have played out not only for me but for the patient, too. Tonya is going to be a nurse I never forget in my lifetime of nursing. She taught me so much in the time I worked alongside her. I am grateful for everything she has done.”

The second nomination was sent in by a patient who shared, “I was in the hospital with COVID respiratory and acute kidney failure. I thank God that Tonya was there to get me through the nights. She went above and beyond.”

Tonya, congratulations on your award! Your skill and passion for nursing are undeniable!

Aya traveler, Brittni, was nominated for a DAISY Award by a patient who was touched by her compassionate care. Read the nomination below:

When Brittni walked into the room, it was like the sun shined. She always made sure I was okay. She listened to everything I said, made me feel special and always had a smile for me. She is a very thoughtful and helpful nurse. I never wanted her to go home. She will always be in my thoughts and heart. I wish all the nurses could be like her ❤ Thank you Brittni.”

We admire your dedication to your work, Brittni. Congratulations on your nomination!

Aya RN, Carrie, is a DAISY Award winner!

Carrie was awarded the prestigious DAISY Award after one of her patients wrote in about her professionalism and her gift for nursing. Read the sweet feedback that this patient had to share about Carrie:

“I was admitted in severe condition. Carrie met me with a smile and an extremely upbeat attitude. I cannot describe a specific situation as she was very consistent in her attitude and professionalism. I also have a compromised immune system. I have been hospitalized many times, yet I never had a nurse who made it a point to physically make contact to reassure me and honestly answer my questions. If she did not know the answer, she would tell me, ‘Hang on, I’ll go find out,’ and she did. It is my hope that this nurse is recognized as rare and unique in today’s nursing profession. These are the nurses who need to be recognized and utilized as mentors. It is clearly evident, that she does not do it as a job, she has a gift. From when I was admitted, until today, I have seen nothing but a positive smile and a willingness to immediately address my medical concerns, taking that extra moment to check on me. This uniquely qualified nurse elevates the reputation of professionalism at this facility. Thank you!”

Carrie, we can tell that nursing was your calling! Congratulations on your well-deserved award.

This is an extremely busy unit and Jordan consistently goes above and beyond to make sure her patients receive great care despite the conditions! Thank you so much, Jordan!”

RN, Bailey, is an exemplary nurse

Aya RN, Bailey, received a very detailed compliment from her facility manager for being such an exemplary nurse.

The manager said, “As Bailey’s contract sadly comes to a close soon with my unit I would like to share some reflections on her time with us.  

Bailey is unequivocally one of the absolutely BEST travel nurses I have ever had the pleasure to have work on my unit. She is sweet, knowledgeable, thorough and professional. She is always punctual for work and when here, works incredibly hard. I have had so many compliments from patients, I couldn’t even begin to tell you all of them. She never has an issue floating or flexing to help out another unit and did so a few times. Bailey even made sure she was at work during the freeze we had back in February. When some of my staff couldn’t make it in, Bailey made sure she was here for the patients. Her attitude is exemplary!!!  In my eyes, she is what every nurse should strive to be.

I could go on and on about what a true professional she has been, not to mention that she is just a lovely person with a huge heart for her patients. I hope you know how lucky you are to have her as your employee and this unit is going to miss her very much!  Thank you so much for allowing us to have Bailey here with us.”

Way to go above and beyond, Bailey! We’re impressed and so proud of you!

A heartfelt DAISY Award nomination for RN, Emily!

Aya RN, Emily, was nominated for the prestigious DAISY Award. Read what Emily’s coworker had to say in their heartfelt nomination:

“I’d like to nominate Emily for stepping out of her ER role and into Med Tele. She did not just meet standards and expectations, but exceeded. She was praised by patients, management, and peers alike. I have never seen a more adaptable and caring individual.

It was a sincere privilege to work alongside her. She was involved in a least two separate codes that were regained, which would not have been the case without her knowledge, experience, and leadership. She went beyond her duties of her own patients to help other RNs with difficult IV starts as well as many other tasks. She was an asset to the unit, and her experience will be sorely missed. She had countless praises from long term Covid patients and families.

She exemplifies all of the qualities that a nurse should fulfill. Her example sparked hope in patients leading to better outcomes, and inspiration to her peers. She managed to coordinate discharge for a patient of four weeks, that Physicians did not believe was possible. That patient is at home presently and living their best life thanks to Emily. She inspired, challenged and cared for patients at their most dire need.

She made the facility proud and carried the nursing banner proudly through a difficult time and assignment. I was amazed to learn it was one of several Covid assignments she had taken. She is a testament to her profession and human compassion.

I think it’s a testament to Aya’s recruiting of incredible nurses and the service you provide. If there is recognition to be had, she is the most deserving.”

We couldn’t agree more! Congratulations on your nomination, Emily!
