August 2025 Honoree
Destini Conley, ASN, RN
I came into the hospital with stroke symptoms, which were diagnosed as a TIA. They admitted me and ran the usual protocol with checks every two hours through the night. I had no discomfort from the TIA, but was miserable through the night tossing and turning from the strange bed; the fitted sheet kept coming off. I was setting off the bed alarm from moving around, and there are so many indicator lights that you could practically read a book, it's so bright, even with the lights off. Destini was so kind! Helped me organize the bedding to straighten it out for my comfort. When I wished for a sleep mask to block the light, she went on Pinterest and found a way to cut a hospital sock to make a mask. IT WAS PERFECT! I was finally able to get some sleep! I had been so cranky from sleep deprivation, but she was always patient and kind. She really listened to my concerns and did her best to make me feel comfortable. When I went down for the MRI, I wore the mask, and the MRI tech thought the mask was a great idea and planned to copy it. Everyone at Advent was pleasant and cheerful, but Destini went above and beyond to make my time there comfortable, secure, and happy.
Thank you, Destini, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
