She’s very detail when it comes to communicating with her patients and coworkers, very adaptable to support teamwork, and goes the extra mile to help someone who's looking for help on our unit.
Kim took a second to explain what each medication was needed for. She crushed the meds and fed it to my grandmother with the rest of the apple sauce. Kim also provided a shake because she wasn’t sure if Grandmother ate. We appreciate the care!!!!

Kimberlyn is a great team player at work. She takes care of her assigned patients properly and discharges and admit patients in a timely manner. Kimberlyn helps the unit also with Spanish interpretation during acute needs such as when code greens or rapid responses occur.

Every morning on the unit, we start by recognizing team members who go above and beyond, or a team member who embodies the RISES values. Kim is that staff member.  She exhibits a positive attitude in every circumstance and is 100% committed to teamwork on the unit. She always jumps in to help in a rapid or even a minor situation when a fellow staff member needs help. I have observed her interactions with her patients, and she is extremely caring. I often see her check in with them after being off the unit for a day and returning to work (even if they are not her patients).  Kim is responsive and committed to giving the best care she knows how. She brightens and lifts both the patient's spirits and the staff.

She’s very detail when it comes to communicating with her patients and coworkers, very adaptable to support teamwork, and goes the extra mile to help someone who's looking for help on our unit. Kim possesses good time management skills. Kim is hard-working and open to learning and growing in her career.  We are blessed to have you in our unit! May God Bless Her!

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Kimberlyn for just a few weeks, and when I heard that she had received the DAISY Award for 7N IMCU, I wasn’t surprised in the least. From our interactions, it’s clear that she embodies both professionalism and genuine warmth in everything she does. Kimberlyn’s infectious smile can truly brighten any room, and her positive energy is felt by all who encounter her. Her commitment to our RISES values is evident in every interaction I’ve witnessed, and she has certainly earned this recognition. Congratulations, Kimberlyn, on this well-deserved honor!
