Breanna receives a DAISY Award nomination

A coworker nominated Breanna for a DAISY Award for her compassionate care.

The coworker wrote, “Breanna took time during her shift to get a long-term patient’s clothes washed. This patient is in an acute care unit, and has regular clothes to wear, but they were all dirty. Breanna took time to get washing powders and wash the patient’s clothes on shift. She goes the extra mile with all of her patients and steps it up even more when she sees a need that is basic to most, but unusual in an acute care setting.”

Your team members see you dedication and compassionate care, Breanna. Congratulations on the DAISY Award nomination. Keep up the good work! ...

Dillon receives a DAISY Award nomination

A patient nominated Dillon for a DAISY Award for his thoughtfulness and compassion.

The patient wrote, “I was hospitalized after traveling from Kansas to North Carolina for a funeral. Dillon was outstanding. I was in the hospital for five days, and thankfully Dillon was with me for three of those days. He talked to me like one human to another, he checked on me many times and made sure I had everything I needed. I found out we both have/had cancer and talked about our shared experiences. At one point, he pulled up a chair and talked to me. I shared my reason for being in North Carolina with him (a passing in my family). He listened with compassion and made me feel heard. Dillon is a wonderful young man and a gifted nurse.”
