Christina’s ability to keep both the family and the medical team organized during such a high-pressure moment was nothing short of extraordinary.
I would like to nominate Christina for the DAISY Award for her incredible professionalism and composure during a critical situation. When a patient began seizing, Christina immediately sprang into action, responding with both urgency and calm. She quickly gathered the team, ensuring everyone was coordinated and ready to assist. At the same time, she provided clear and compassionate instructions to the patient’s family, advising them to record the seizure for medical evaluation. Christina’s ability to keep both the family and the medical team organized during such a high-pressure moment was nothing short of extraordinary. Her quick thinking, clinical expertise, and calm demeanor not only ensured the best possible care for the patient but also offered reassurance and guidance to the family during a frightening experience. Christina truly embodies the qualities of a DAISY Nurse, and her actions demonstrate her unwavering dedication to her patients, their families, and her team.
