A patient nominated Randall, AKA Randy, for a DAISY Award, attributing their positive hospital experience entirely to Randall. This is the second DAISY Award nomination Randall has received.

The patient wrote, “I was placed in the ICU for a wound, and Randy did a stellar job caring for me.

The wound care and the pain control were lifesavers in themselves. I have no medical background, but Randy never got upset when I asked him to repeat himself in regard to what was happening and my next steps in the healing process. Randy, I want you to know I am so grateful for the compassion and care you provided. He was a godsend to me and the other people he worked with.”

Randy, this awe-inspiring story exemplifies the reason you have received two DAISY Award nominations. Congratulations, and keep up the amazing work! ...

Efosa receives a thank you note from a patient

Efosa received a note from a patient thanking him for the stellar care he provided and recognizing his determination to provide the best care.

The patient wrote, “Efosa was a fantastic nurse! He had great bedside manners, truly listened to his patients and constantly popped in to see if I needed anything! He was thorough and returned in good time when I requested medication or whatever I needed. He also genuinely wanted to learn about my blood disorder, HAE, so he could be confident as my nurse. When his shift ended, he said he hoped to be my nurse the next day. I completely believe he came into work that day not knowing anything about HAE, but left knowing what it is and how to care for patients with this rare, life-threatening disorder. After a challenging night, I was so happy to see him walk into my room the next day. My anxiety dropped, and I felt safe to sleep and heal because I knew I was in good hands.”

Thank you for your amazing care and genuine interest in your patients, Efosa. They’re so grateful, and so are we! ...

Pamela receives praise from a facility manager

A facility manager praised and thanked Pamela for her work and efforts in patient care.

The manager said, “I received a compliment from a patient for Pamela. The patient had great things to say. She said Pamela really got her, understood her, helped her relax and made her feel comfortable. We don’t get many compliments for OR nurses, since patients are medicated and don’t often remember their operative team. That’s why I wanted to praise Pamela for doing such a great job. She really connected with our patients, her patients remembered her, and it was wonderful. We love Pamela!”

Wilson is praised by his nurse manager

A nurse manager praised Wilson for saving a patient’s life with his quick thinking and action.

The nurse manager said, “A patient was seen and for something fairly minor. As the patient walked out the door, they became dizzy and fell down. Wilson got to the patient first, kept cool and did a rapid assessment. The patient was pulseless and apneic. Wilson started CPR, which resulted in a good outcome. Wilson was calm, skilled and worked excellently as part of the team. He’s a total rockstar, and his rapid and perfect response to this emergency definitely contributed to this patient’s survival. If the patient had made it out our door and dropped in the street, he would not have survived.”

You truly are a skilled and excellent worker, Wilson. Your team appreciates you, and so do we! ...
