We are honored to nominate our exceptional colleagues in the Emergency Room for the DAISY Team Award. As fellow nurses privileged to work alongside this remarkable group, we have witnessed firsthand the unwavering teamwork, compassion, and dedication they demonstrate daily in caring for our hospital's most vulnerable patients. Their commitment to making a healthy difference in the lives of those we serve truly embodies our mission.
In the face of high stress and often critical situations, our ER team consistently goes above and beyond to deliver outstanding patient care. Whether responding to trauma cases, comforting grieving families, distracting pediatric patients with bubbles during procedures, or staying late without hesitation during a code, each team member contributes selflessly and skillfully. Their impact extends beyond the ER-they respond to in-hospital codes, rapid responses, and assist first responders. They also support outlying facilities through telemedicine. One notable example involved a pediatric trauma patient being intubated, where Amanda was commended by the Ada team for her assistance with documentation and charting.
Our team members routinely stay after their shifts to help colleagues stock carts or settle new patients. When a call for help goes out over the walkie, multiple staff members respond without hesitation. Their flexibility and readiness to adapt-whether taking on a trauma, a code, a Level 1 stroke alert, or a conscious sedation-are invaluable, especially to charge nurses.
We also support one another through emotionally challenging events, such as a pediatric code or trauma, fostering a culture of empathy and resilience. The camaraderie and mutual appreciation among team members are evident in the positive energy they share.
Here are just a few examples of individual contributions that highlight our team's excellence:
Leah was recognized by Amanda for assisting with a critically ill patient during intubation and helping with transport to the CT and CCU; Betsy was acknowledged by Amanda for successfully starting an IV on a critical patient after EMS was unable to do so; John K was commended by Dr. Honeyman for initiating a new suture cart, demonstrating stewardship and initiative; Sam was recognized by Mya for her support in caring for a STEMI patient, ensuring high-quality care; Megan was praised by Annika for helping clean and prepare a patient who had just arrived via EMS.
These examples reflect the spirit of collaboration and support that defines our team even in the smallest tasks.
Beyond the hospital walls, our team actively engages with the community. Whether volunteering at the Fargo Marathon, distributing cookies to safe drivers at sobriety checkpoints, or preparing meals for families at the Ronald McDonald House, their compassion extends far beyond clinical care.
In an environment where every minute can mean the difference between life and death, this team exemplifies the values of the DAISY Award every single day. We cannot think of a more deserving group for this recognition.
