A patient nominates Linda for a DAISY Award

Linda was nominated for a DAISY Award by a patient and her spouse for the personal and touching care she gave that meant a great deal to them.

The patient’s spouse wrote, “My wife was in the ICU for the past two weeks, and in that time we met many wonderful nurses, but Linda stood out among them. Her kindness and compassion shone in everything she did. When talking with my wife, she always bent down to be at eye level and gave her the physical affirmation that she heard her. She didn’t just hear, she listened and checked in regularly to see if we needed anything. She did this for all her patients and their families.

“Linda also did little extra things that made life easier for her patients — like ordering extra ice cream and putting it in the freezer so they didn’t have to wait an hour to get it. She made our stay more bearable with her genuine care and deserves the highest honors and recognition. Linda, you are a skilled nurse and we felt safe in your care.”

Wow. That is some high praise, Linda. Congratulations on the DAISY Award nomination! ...

Alison receives awesome recognition from her facility

A facility recently recognized Alison for her exemplary display of high attention to detail and for keeping a patient safe.

The facility manager wrote, “I want to recognize Alison for her exemplary display of Keep Me Safe and High-Reliability pillars. Recently, Alison noticed one of her patient’s medication concentrations was incorrect for the rate programmed in the pump. The patient was medically fragile and on dialysis, and the medical team believed the medication was not working and was already considering their next decision. Alison’s discovery of the programming error revealed the patient was only receiving half the medication. She escalated her discovery to her leaders who adjusted the pump to the proper amount.”

Alison, your quality care and attention to detail make a difference to your patients. Keep up the good work! ...

Carnesha receives a DAISY Award nomination

A facility manager recognized Carnesha for the excellence she brings every day after a patient thanked her for her amazing care. She then gave Carnesha a DAISY Award nomination.

The patient said, “Carnesha was the sweetest nurse to me and my husband, who was the patient. If we had questions about his care she would fill us in, or if she didn’t know, she would find the answer for us. She was gentle and caring anytime she was in the room. She was also very compassionate towards me after learning I had just lost my daughter. She gave me some good advice on how to handle some issues and handle her death. She was so compassionate, and I really enjoyed talking with her about my passion of becoming a nurse. She told me, ‘if you want it bad enough, go for it ’cause you’re never too old to accomplish your dreams.’ I truly admire this young lady. You have a great and caring employee working for you. She is in the profession for the right reason. Thank you, Carnesha!”

Congratulations, Carnesha! Way to provide excellent care. ...
