Her commitment and compassion made a world of difference for both my brother and me.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to Emily, who went above and beyond caring for my brother during his last hospital stay. When we requested that his catheter be removed before discharge to rehab, Emily made it her mission to ensure this process happened smoothly. The team wanted to do a void and trial, and Emily took complete ownership of the process in a way that no other nurse would have. She was patient, kind & incredibly encouraging, which was imperative as my brother is developmentally disabled. Throughout the entire night, she checked in every hour, providing support, hydration, and motivation to help my brother succeed in the trial. Without her dedication, this would never have happened. Emily is truly one of a kind – a gem and a rarity in nursing. Her commitment and compassion made a world of difference for both my brother and me. Your team is incredibly lucky to have her, and we feel so fortunate to have her as our nurse. She deserves all the recognition possible, and I wholeheartedly nominate her for the DAISY Award. If anyone is worthy of this honor, it is Emily! We are forever grateful!
