An "18 day stay" in the ICU. Just that information alone tells us all how sick this patient was and the extensive care they needed. And five different people wrote in about one particular nurse who gave continuous care to their loved one. They each noted and wrote about this nurse's compassion, continual interactions, the excellent care their family member received, the thoughtful and kind demeanor you showed during end-of-life care, with gentle but needed communication. The family wrote, “his compassion and kindness during such a trying time for our family will never be forgotten”. Your nursing skills, professional manner, human touch, and overall kindness earned you a well-deserved (like I said- many nominations) DAISY Award today, Dillon Knighton. You showered your patient and his entire family with exceptional care and compassion as they moved through an extremely difficult process. You are an asset in the ICU and to this community, and we honor you today for your continual support, strength, knowledge, and compassion you give to your patients each day.
