While caring for G, Chloe also managed to mentor a student nurse— further exemplifying the qualities of a truly compassionate nurse.
Chloe is a dedicated nurse, who works tirelessly to care for her patients. She is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that they receive the best possible care. Her true character shone when she cared for G, a patient in the ICU.

G had been admitted to the hospital with a severe case of pneumonia. Chloe immediately took charge of her care, ensuring that she was comfortable and receiving the appropriate treatment. She spent time getting to know G and her family, quickly realizing that they were struggling to cope with her illness. Chloe recognized that the family needed more than just medical care, so she went above and beyond her duties to provide emotional support. She listened to their concerns, answered their questions, and provided them with the resources they needed to better understand G’s treatment plan. While caring for G, Chloe also managed to mentor a student nurse— further exemplifying the qualities of a truly compassionate nurse.

Thanks to Chloe's exceptional care and support, G was able to recover and return home to her family. G wrote a heartfelt letter of thanks, expressing her gratitude for Chloe's kindness and dedication.

Chloe is always aware of the morale of the staff, and she takes it upon herself to organize breaks and food orders, treating the team without expectation of repayment. Her dedication to the team and her patients often leads her to stay after her shift to help clean up and ensure that everything is in order for the next day.

Chloe's actions not only made a difference in the lives of her patients and their families but also had a positive impact on the morale of the hospital staff. She truly embodies the spirit of the DAISY Award and serves as a shining example of what it means to be a nurse.
