Melonnie was a breath of fresh air for my daughter and me during a painful and scary night. Melonnie made (my daughter) comfortable, told personal stories to distract from the pain, and used her expert nursing skills to manage the patient's pain. Melonnie went out of her way to make sure my daughter and I were comfortable. She thought about our needs before we even asked. Melonnie acted with so much compassion and even checked on us the next day, even though she wasn't our nurse. A rare Ray of Sunshine!

Note: This is Melonnie's 2nd DAISY Award!
