Marie also had an incredible bedside manner, and her communication with my daughter was amazing.
Marie always comes onto shift in a happy, bright mood. She works many nights, and more recently, as winter approaches, the shifts have become increasingly busy with a demanding workload. I have noted that she manages and leads the shift in a calm and controlled manner, guiding newer team members and leading them through the shift. She is polite to both the medical team and service users. In particular, this Monday was exceptionally busy with over an hour wait to triage due to the sheer number of patients booking into CED. Marie did not panic or complain about what was ahead of her as the nurse in charge; instead, she started the shift by getting involved in tackling the triages while also overseeing the management of the caseload and the orders for the various specialties. Marie is a caring individual who is always approachable and flexible with shift changes, if possible. Keep up the good work!

I would like to nominate Marie Little in the Children’s Emergency Department for the DAISY Award. My daughter attended and was admitted with RSV. Marie cared for my daughter overnight. Marie was efficient in ensuring my daughter received all the correct medication on time, conducting regular observations, and ensuring she was comfortable. Having previously felt undermined and not listened to, Marie came in as a breath of fresh air and asked my opinions and thoughts on the care plan and treatments. Marie also had an incredible bedside manner, and her communication with my daughter was amazing. Marie offered patient- and family-centred care, something we felt was lacking in the day. Marie offered me refreshments regularly throughout the night, despite being so busy that I'm sure she didn't have a break herself - this shows the type of nurse Marie is.

Marie is caring, compassionate, and always thinking about the best interests of her patients and their caregivers. Although we were asleep, Marie came to say goodbye when she finished her night shift. This action truly demonstrates that Marie is one of the most incredible nurses that L has; she is a true credit to the department.
