I have never seen anyone with such passion and dedication. Tameka listens patiently to questions and answers with patience. She is friendly, personable, and compassionate. She is extremely supportive of the staff. Hard-working, she thinks, acknowledges, and executes and resolves any issues that arise. She recognizes and awards the staff with emotional support and positive attitude/energy. The camaraderie and morale in this unit are amazing, we are blessed to have this leadership team. She is the most well-rounded person I know. She juggles work, school, and 2 children. She is also becoming a SANE RN helping rape victims. As our manager, she is the most approachable person who one can confide in. She is very knowledgeable and fair to all her staff. She doesn't hesitate to jump right in and help the staff whether it be to put an IV in or move a bed. She is truly an amazing person.

She displays great leadership toward her staff. She truly cares about every single one of her staff members. She always promotes teamwork and is so kind to everyone. She truly goes out of her way to say hello and ask how your day is going. If a problem arises you can always count on her to help you and stay on top of it. I believe that Tameka is truly a DAISY Nurse Leader.
