Ryan made a big impression on us for his attention, extraordinary care, his kindness, and compassion. He strives to go above expectations developing key relationships with my husband and our family. Commitment to the highest standards of nursing. My husband had problems coming back from cath lab recovery room after the angiogram. He is years on Coumadin and manual pressure was not done enough for this kind of patient. Ryan, his nurse, was on top of this situation and did everything to solve the problem, talk to the doctor, explained the situation and stopped my husband going home the same day. My husband had to remain in a hospital for a day or so longer. During the same time, pressure to the groin was applied constantly. He stayed with my husband as long as he needed. Told us about meds, activities, and bathing. Next morning, the doctor praised him very highly for solving the problem, so do I and my husband. If not Ryan's attention to details, his willingness to go the extra mile, his knowledge in this field, outstanding patient care, who knows what might have happened. My husband may have gone home same day and …..? I'm even afraid to think what may have happened to him. Ryan is really deserving of the DAISY Award for nursing talent, compassion, and caring.
