Chung came to work on our father who had a spinal cord injury while on vacation. She was the angel we asked for. She took her time and exercised and massaged my dad's legs and arms. We hadn't seen another nurse do this. She made us feel as if we were the only people on the unit. While checking blood pressure she allowed us to sleep. She wouldn't let us feed him. She said, "I got this", with a smile. Everything she did was with a smile. She treated my dad like the king I know he is. She is caring, smart, a team player, hard-working, and showed a lot of tender loving care.
Note: This is Chung's 2nd DAISY Award!
