Kayla Bullard Receives Hot Springs DAISY Award

Kayla Bullard, RN in Emergency Department, received a DAISY Award at Hot Springs. Following is an excerpt from her nomination:

This nurse is a very hard worker and takes excellent care of her patients. She received a radio report of a patient with stroke-like symptoms. She immediately began preparing and by the time the patient arrived, she had everything ready to go. She personally took the patient to CT and activated AR Saves. Already recognized as an AR Saves champion, she always does a great job with stroke patients. In this case, her initiative, quick action and diligence helped ensure a positive outcome for her patient.

The DAISY Award was established by the DAISY Foundation in memory of J. Patrick Barnes who died at 33 of ITP, an auto-immune disease. The Barnes Family was awestruck by the clinical skills, caring and compassion of the nurses who cared for Patrick, so they created this national award to say thank you to nurses everywhere.
