December 209 DAISY Award Winner: Clarissa Avalos, MSN, ARNP-BC Nominated by a Parent on GWN I love this nurse because she has always done her job WITHOUT one complain! Clarissa performs all her job task in a fast pace, correct, careful, professional, friendly way. I personally appreciate nurses who work like her, get the job done, correct, without complains. When she walks in the room she has this spontaneous contagious attitude that makes my bad day better. Always smiling, teaching, helping, doesn’t mind picking up pampers, taking vitals signs, I see her helping care assistants, always answers my questions in a polite, professional matter. Even if I ask her 100 questions she NEVER seems frustrated to answer any of them, I think All the nurses should take notes on her way of working, she is AWESOME, takes her job serious, but manages to make the parent feel comfortable at the same time. She goes out of her way to make me feel comfortable. To sum up, she deserves the award, 3 north/bone marrow unit have some of the best nurses, and I hope management makes it a point to remind them how much they can impact a family in a good way, I appreciate them all, and thank God they exist because they do make a difference EVERYDAY. Thank you Clarissa. God bless you :)
