Rachel Carlson, RN

Rachel Carlson, RN DAISY Award Honoree, September 2018 Rachel was my saving grace. I had a bad 3 days and nights in the hospital and couldn’t sleep. She managed to coordinate the blood draws, blood sugar draws, and med dispensing, so I could get some very-much needed sleep. She showed a lot of compassion to me as her patient. She certainly earned my respect when she asked for my room the second night, after I was short with her on the first night. Rachel is a shining example of what nursing should be. Thank you, Rachel, for pulling me out of my misery and letting me get some sleep. Nominated by a patient.
