ian king, RN

Ian King has a presence about him on the unit. He walks in smiling and ready to start the day. Sometimes I watch him work with his patients. His caring nature, attention to the little things and the way he makes his patients laugh inspire me. Patients have told me that he makes them feel like they are his only patients. He takes his time to listen, empathize and encourage. He has a special way about him that families ask to be admitted to our unit because of the care he has given to them. Patients come back to visit and see him again. There are hugs and tears, not sad but happy. Ian is truly a nurse who makes a difference in his patient's likes and the people around him. His infectious laugh cheers up everyone on the unit. I am honored to nominate him for the DAISY Award.
