Aya RN, Telisca, makes a big impression on a patient’s family

A patient’s family called the leadership team at RN, Telisca’s, facility and complimented her for providing great care and ensuring the patient was comfortable during their stay.

Facility leadership relayed the message, sharing, “She had to bring her daughter to the ED last night and this was their first time coming to the facility. She said Telisca went above and beyond and she wanted to recognize her for the phenomenal service and care that she provided to her daughter. Telisca stepped in and said, ‘I got this,’ when it was time to do an EKG. Her daughter has a phobia of needles and Telisca took her time showing her how small the needle was and making jokes to make it a more comfortable experience. The patient’s mother said, ‘We were blown away when my daughter didn’t even cry. If I could, I would give her 100/10. She was so good to all of us.’”

In addition, the leadership team said, “What a wonderful compliment, Telisca! It sounds as though your efforts were appreciated so much by this family. Thank you for always providing great care to our patients, we are so happy to have you as part of our team!”

Telisca, we’re impressed by what an impact you made on this patient and their family. Keep up the amazing work! ...

RN, Teresa, wins a DAISY Award!

Aya traveler, Teresa, won a DAISY Award after a patient nominated her for her attentive care and the positive impact she had on their stay in the hospital.

The patient wrote, “I entered the ER coughing up blood and terribly frightened. Teresa was my nurse. As she tended to me over the next 12 hours, and as I moved back and forth from ER to ICU, I felt helpless. I want Teresa to know that she was extremely helpful, as well as instructive, steady and respectful. She taught me to use a device and pointed out the benefit of it. She kept checking back, looking me in the eyes. She made me feel seen. It was important to me to watch my SpO2 number, and she kept the monitor in my sight as I focused on calming my panic and breathing. Many details about my time in the hospital are mixed up in my mind, but I do remember the compassionate and dignified care Teresa provided me. Teresa, I lived! Thank you, thank you.”

Congratulations on your well-deserved award, Teresa! ...

Aya traveler, Michael, is nominated for a DAISY Award!

Nurse, Michael, was nominated for a DAISY Award after a coworker recognized him for his profound patience and determination to provide care.

The coworker wrote, “Mike is an incredible nurse! His experience only heightens his compassion and he’s an inspiration for the rest of us. I watched Mike spend almost an hour assisting a very uncooperative patient. This patient was in very poor health, homeless, in severe pain and had underlying mental health issues. Mike very gently cleansed the patient’s leg wounds and provided clean dressings. He maintained professional, compassionate care for this patient despite being verbally abused and berated by the patient the entire time. Mike also advocated repeatedly for proper pain management for this patient due to an increased tolerance for opiates. He then spent an additional 30 minutes teaching the patient about proper wound care. Mike’s work with him truly showed the nature of his character. For this, I would like to express my gratitude, since the patient was not able to. I truly feel that Mike deserves a DAISY Award as recognition for his continued integrity, kindness and empathy in difficult situations.”

Mike, your dedication to your patients and your work is remarkable. Congratulations on your nomination! ...
