January Daisy Award: Crystal Caissie, RN; 10 East. Our first winner of the year arrives with a heartfelt nomination from a couple who had a newborn baby in the hospital for many weeks. Their words described the great appreciation they felt for Crystal as she cared for their son: “Many outstanding nurses cared for him, but Crystal Caissie's devotion, expertise and calming presence were especially memorable during this trying time. Not only was her nursing care competent and natural, but she was also very loving toward our baby. She brought clarity to our confusion regarding our son's condition and she was supportive in our efforts to minister to his special needs. After weeks of anxiety Crystal was able to usher us from despair over our son's condition—and our ability to manage it—to hope. For which we are so very, very grateful.” Congratulations to Crystal!
