Travel nurse, Jillian, gets a DAISY Award nomination!

Aya RN, Jillian, was nominated for a DAISY Award by her coworker for her dedication to nursing and the positive attitude she brings to her work.

The coworker wrote, “Jillian brings that little bit of sunshine you need when dealing with the overwhelming cloud of being in a hospital. Her energy is encouraging, not overpowering. Her laugh is infectious, making those around her smile, even on those bad days. She’s the nurse you want assigned to you or your loved ones if in the hospital. She’s the person to ask for when you need a second pair of eyes.

The significance nursing has in her life was evident within the first five minutes of talking to her. Her knowledge of different areas in nursing was broad. She let me pick her brain about her years working in the field and broadened my outlook on where this career could eventually take me. This wasn’t just a job to her. It was her life. When I needed to run my thoughts about a patient by someone, she was the one I went to. When I was drowning in admissions and discharges and asked for help, she was there. Each time I worked with her, I knew someone had my back no matter what.

I truly believe Jillian deserves this award. She deserves to be recognized for her hard work and dedication. She continues to push herself, even continuing her education to soon be an NP. I’m happy to have her as a fellow colleague and friend.”

Jillian, you’re not only impacting your patients, but you’re also improving the lives of your coworkers. Congratulations on this well-deserved nomination!
