April 2024 Honoree
Melissa R Taylor, RN
Melissa Taylor was on our unit today to present a DAISY Award to another nurse. After the award was given and she was about to leave, we suddenly had a patient who was found unresponsive with a heart rate in the 20s.
Melissa tossed her purse down and ran to the room with our charge nurse and me, and helped us work the code until our MET team arrived. I cannot tell you how much we appreciated this from her.
As a prior trained ICU Nurse, she was a wonderful help, and I wanted to make sure she was recognized for helping during a critical moment without hesitation. In my opinion, this is a true demonstration of our values and mission here at CAMC, and I cannot say enough how much we appreciate her and everything she is doing to represent nursing in her new administrative role.
Even when not in scrubs and in dress clothes and heels, when a patient was in need, she showed our staff that patients are always the priority, no matter what your position.

Thank you, Melissa R, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
