dayna sparacino, R.N.

DAYNA demonstrates TMC values as a very dedicated RN who is compassionate even when pressed in on all sides by patient care demands. A patient letter captures the essence of the nominee: “after my surgery, I had the privilege to be cared for many of the hospital’s staff. All were compliant and professional, but one in particular NURSE DAYNA did her job at such a high level of degree that I felt compelled to write this letter. The first night I came under DAYNA’S care, she had a troubled patient. For hours DAYNA talked to her patient trying to calm him down. After about 3 hours, I had enough and lost my patience. Now DAYNA had a disturbed man and a very angry one in the same room. As the situation came to a close, DAYNA managed to calm him and I down. The next night if I rang for a nurse, DAYNA was there in 2 seconds. I had to keep telling her to slow down. Even after a 12 hour shift, she would still be moving at lightning speed. DAYNA’S smile is not only infectious, but therapeutic. I am sure DAYNA’S care shortened my stay at TMC. She is not only an inspiration to her successors, but also her peers. I have had many surgeries and anticipate more, and spent over a year of my life in hospitals around the world, and never once felt compelled to write to an institution about the professionalism of their staff. TMC has found a keeper in DAYNA, I wish her the best and feel She is one of the best in her field.
