I think everyone who works with Peggy would agree that she exhibits all the qualities of a DAISY Nurse. Peggy has worked at MUSC for many years. She started her career as an LPN and returned to school to obtain her RN, BSN, and MSN. Peggy joined the Radiology Nursing team 3 years ago transferring from ART 4 East. The situation that prompted this nomination involved a patient who was referred to Nuclear Medicine for treatment. This treatment is ordered for patients with Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. When patients receive the treatment, they also receive a six-hour infusion of amino acids to prevent/lessen severe nausea and vomiting associated. On this particular day, the patient arrived in Nuclear Medicine at 7 am to start his treatment. It was discovered, after the patient had 2-IVs placed, that the hospital was out of the amino acid infusion. The amino acids are compounded and shipped to MUSC. It looked like the only option was to reschedule this patient, who had driven here from Florence, to the following week. Pharmacy and Radiology leadership worked diligently to try to find the amino acids for this patient. They were finally located but were 4 hours away by courier. Peggy did not hesitate to volunteer to stay and provide the treatment for this patient. She had already told Radiology Leadership that if they could find the amino acids she would stay as long as she needed to, or return the next day, which was Saturday, to care for this patient. The amino acids finally arrived after 4:00. Peggy stayed with the NM physician until 11:00 pm that night to provide the treatment for this very appreciative patient. Her shift should have ended at 6:00. I can say without a doubt that I don't know too many nurses in this department who would have willingly volunteered to work a 16-hour shift just to prevent the patient from having to return the following week. It was actually a blessing that she stayed because we had to reschedule the remainder of the patients that were to receive the treatment in the month of May due to a distribution issue. If Peggy hadn't stayed to care for this patient, the patient would not have received the treatment and the dose would have gone to waste.
