My brother had emergency surgery and was placed on life support in ICU. One of the first nurses I talked with was Colease. She gave me a thorough, detailed report on G. The report was technical but then she explained in Layman's language. G was near death a couple of times. Colease was sure I knew what was going on by quick phone calls. Being an hour away from the hospital, that was so appreciated!
I told Colease that G always had a radio on and in less than 10 minutes, she returned to the room with an old transistor radio and set it up near his head.
G was eventually weaned off the ventilator and then he was transported to a Rehab Hospital. Colease was supportive and helped make transport an easy process.
Colease is a DAISY Nurse for her professionalism and personal caring ways. You can tell she loves her job and her patients.
Note: This is Colease's 2nd DAISY Award!
