Allen Abayao was nominated for a DAISY award by his colleagues. Allen is an RN on Hooker 2 and has worked at Gaylord for 8 years, working the evening shift. Allen is a silent hero. However, he is well known throughout the hospital as an expert in caring for our Traumatic Brain Injured patients. He has a unique way of approaching this complex patient population and de-escalating the most challenging situations with his calm demeanor. He often shows up, coming to the rescue of other units during times of need. Allen has a robust skill set and is a valuable resource for the evening staff. He often helps on other units by starting IVs, assisting newer nurses with skills, or even taking charge of his home unit. For example, there was a recent unplanned situation on Hooker 1 where a charge RN resource was needed. Allen, without hesitation, offered to float off his unit to take charge. In addition, the same evening, he was a preceptor to a new employee whose primary preceptor was unavailable. This describes the extraordinary kind of nurse Allen is—always there to help where help is needed to ensure we keep our patients safe and support team members. He is a true professional and keeps his patients at the center of all he does. Allen lives our Gaylord mission, vision, and values. He is a role model to all of us. For these reasons and many more, Allen is most deserving of this DAISY award!
