She is illuminated in spirituality and truly an example for other nurses out there.
The first DAISY Award honoree at Oakland Center was Debbie Henderson, RN, on the Partial Day Unit. Debbie was nominated by four of her patients and two of her co-workers. Their comments follow:
“This nurse is always prepared for the daily beauty and conflict as a result of this program. She is tender, reassuring, yet knows the best way to handle conflict. She is illuminated in spirituality and truly an example for other nurses out there. They don’t get any better than her!”
“This nurse always goes above and beyond for our patients. She always demonstrates a compassionate attitude. She does anything she can to help the patients.”
“She always relates to me with some of her own life situations that she is going through, either present or past. She is so spiritual and down to earth. She applies her medical education and her human side for the love of people. She does anything -- even the extra mile -- she is ready to help. In the type of world we live in, we need more spiritual professional nurses like her.”
“She came to me during a crisis of my husband’s death. While hysterically angry to calm me down with calming words of reassurance, wisdom, and caring, she was able to help me through the terror of attempting to control myself to stop myself from hurting another person.”
