Aya nurse, Jennifer, gets nominated for a DAISY Award!

RN, Jennifer’s, superb care allowed for the wife of a patient to feel comfortable leaving to handle things at home, knowing her husband was in Jennifer’s safe hands.

The wife wrote, “My husband was admitted to the hospital for a blocked colon. A few days later, our dog was put to sleep and my husband was so upset and everyone was so nice and kept checking on him. Jennifer went above and beyond to check on him and make sure he was taken care of. I called in and Jennifer listened to me and told me she was keeping a close eye on him. I can’t tell you, as a family member, how nice it is to take that burden off while dealing with other matters. Five stars for Jennifer!”

RN, Caitlin, wins a DAISY Award!

Aya traveler, Cat, received a DAISY Award for demonstrating what it means to be a nurse and leaving a positive impact on her patient.

The patient wrote, “Cat, as a person and as a professional, embraces all of the exemplary characteristics set forth for the DAISY Award. She’s skilled, empathetic, patient, kind, thoughtful and communicates on a level that transfers and creates hope for the distraught patient. When I entered the hospital, I was scared, felt helpless and as if my life was in a downward spiral. Cat’s constant attentiveness, first to my illness, and then practical measures needed to help me recover and to the broader scope of mind and body healing, opened up the opportunity for complete healing and allowed me to leave the hospital ready to tackle any new or continuing challenges. Her maturity, her intelligence, her willingness to open up her own vulnerabilities, all contributed to my success. Not only has Cat helped me, but by sharing with me, she has positioned me to be more sensitive to others and carry forward her beautiful talents. Thank you, Cat!”

Congratulations on this well-deserved award, Cat! ...
