Sydney Varnon Named North DAISY winner

Congratulations Sydney Varnon, RN, for being awarded as a North DAISY winner for September!

This is Sydney’s second DAISY win, with her first being in September of last year!

Sydney is a nurse that consistently meets her expectations every shift that she works. She exemplifies the type of nursing role model you would want to see on the unit.

There was a patient on her unit that had a complete turnaround after his few surgeries. He had been there for over a month and was on standby assist. His brother would visit when he had the chance, but Sydney took it upon herself to help him out.

She went to the store to gather supplies, such as clothes, underwear, snacks and more for this patient. This act of humankindness helped this patient feel more comfortable and gained a little bit more of his dignity back with being able to be in normal clothes other than gowns.

“This nurse actively listens to the patient needs, goes above and beyond, and is an awesome team player. This is why I believe that she deserves this DAISY Award because of her ability to be the compassionate nurse that she is.”
