August 2024 Honoree
Maina Karanja, RN, BSN
Maina Karanja touched my heart to tears as he performed pedicure care for a homeless woman with dirty, long toenails that curved and were 7-8 inches long. Upon arrival from the ECC, I noted the patient with BLE elephantitis and these toenails that could have made the Guinness Book of World Records as they stood out alone!
***
After getting the patient bathed and CHG'd, I passed the room later to see Maina trimming her toenails, and this was not even his patient.
***
Maina is known to go above and beyond duty in his care, but this was extraordinary care to me. I know about foot washing, yet this was phenomenal because her nails had not been trimmed in probably a few years.
***
Great nurses work at Grady! Thank you Maina for your selfless care and compassion for the patients. Maina is very deserving of the Daisy award.
