Linda was nominated twice by three fellow RNs...

(1st nomination)

She has years of experience and competence, and brings amazing warmth and kindness to the Emergency Dept. I have so much respect for her on so many levels - as a fellow nurse and as a wonderful example of humankind. I have never heard her utter a disrespectful or negative word about anyone - patient - co-worker- or family member! She is always calm and assertive during a crisis situation, yet she exudes compassion and empathy as well. She is a true gem, and I feel anyone who has worked alongside her recognizes this as well. She represents everything the DAISY Award recognizes. Her demeanor is warm-hearted, respectful and thoughtful towards patients, families, and co-workers. I have witness her kind words diffuse an angry or unhappy patient. She is a role model for me to practice nursing in her caring style. What makes Linda outstanding is her consistent compassionate care for her patients and towards her co-workers, she might describe herself as ordinary, but to staff she is EXTERAORDINARY!!!



(2nd nomination)

Linda is a great nurse! She is a hard worker and easy to work with, has many years of experience and is very knowledgeable. She is kind and has a calming effect on her patients. She is always willing to lend a hand and go the "extra mile." She is a great leader and is a wonderful charge nurse; the day flows well when working with her. She never has an unkind word to say. She is the kind of person that would be easy to have as a best friend. I'm proud to call her my friend and co-worker.
