Juanita McGhee
Juanita is a great nurse and a wonderful person. What she did this week says it all. Juanita was assigned to a patient who was inpatient hospice and expected to live 3 days or less. By the 3rd day the patient’s family members were exhausted. They sat at the bedside for hours waiting for their loved one to die so they could fly him back home. Everyday the family said good bye, possibly for the last time. Every night his wife and sons called to check in. On the 5th day with no family around Juanita gave report to the day nurse, clocked out and then on her own time sat in the room with this dying man. Even though he was not conscious he was not alone. Juanita is a very caring nurse, a role model to all, and deserves the DAISY Award.
