The Nomination

am writing this note to nominate one of your emergency room nurses for the DAISY award for nursing services far above and beyond the nursing services I have received in 87+ years of life. Unfortunately, I did not record the nurses name, but I am certain you will be able to determine that by my description. She is an RN, an Army veteran (parachute rigger), mother of 3 (2, 4, & 6 yrs.), and wife of an Iowa State Highway Patrolman. Probably in her late 20’s or early 30’s.

I came to the emergency room at about 12:30am, July 2, 2023 and was seen immediately by the nurse. Her professional manner, knowledge and care were exemplary. She stayed with me in every respect – her calm manner and kindness relieved my anxiety, which came as a result of convulsive coughing and inability to catch my breath. She accompanied me and helped me through a number of exams, including blood work and x-rays. I felt so cared for an I really appreciated it. She was focused, professional, patient and caring.

Please acknowledge her outstanding patient care.
