Two neurosurgeons sent a letter to administration about Nancy Schuman. They stated that she functions well above their expectations. She has a communication style that is direct, educating and not insulting. Nancy, through her educational efforts, keeps neurosurgery and other patients safer. They stated that they have only identified a nurse clinician of this quality one time in their careers of 25 years. They think Nancy is the best. They stated that she allows the neurosurgery service to operate at a greater volume and deliver better and safer healthcare. She works with an enthusiasm that is infectious. They thought that she should be recognized for her degree of commitment and excellence, she is deserving of the DAISY Award.
