When a patients' wife asks for a particular nurse to comfort her during the family's time of need, it says a lot about the kind of nurse she encountered during her husband's time at Carloinas Medical Center. Maggie's bond with this patient and his family demonstates a higher level of compassion and caring that remains standard to all of Maggie's patient care. Maggie was nominated by a colleague who spoke of her dedication and called her "an asset not only to our organization, but to the entire nursing profession." Maggie Hield is a true example of what the DAISY Award stands for.
