North RN Honored With DAISY Award

A big congratulations is in order for Gail Edwards, RN, at the North campus for winning the DAISY Award! Gail works in the stepdown unit on 3S, where she made a lasting impact on one patient’s wife that proved unforgettable. Here’s her nomination:

“My husband was admitted with a small brain bleed. This nurse took amazing care of not just him but me. They are caring, compassionate, knowledgeable and a great person. Not wanting my husband to see me upset, I went into an empty room at the end of the hall. This nurse followed me and cried with me. They let me fall apart while giving me a hug and just listening to me. Afterwards this nurse gave me advice and helped ease my worry and panic so I could go back to my husband’s room calm. The entire team, day and night, were amazing, but this nurse helped more than they know and we’ll never forget it.”

What an incredible testament of compassionate care. Thank you, Gail, for taking amazing care of your patients and their families! Don’t forget, if you have a nurse you think practice extraordinary care, nominate them! Click this link to access the DAISY Award nomination form and brag on your coworker!
