February 2017 Honoree
samantha coburn and jennifer hughes, RNs
It's not in their job description, but Beaufort Memorial Hospital nurses Samantha Coburn and Jennifer Hughes took on the role of event planners to cheer up a hospitalized Marine disappointed he wouldn't be able to take his wife to the Marine Corps Ball.
A hopeless romantic, Samantha conspired with her charge nurse, Jennifer, to plan a special in-hospital affair for the couple to make up for the missed gala. The health care providers-turned-party hostesses decorated the fifth-floor waiting room and brought in food, flowers and bubbly non-alcoholic juice. They even set up a cell phone to provide music.
For their tender gesture, each of the nurses was honored this week with a DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, a national tribute reserved for RNs who go the extra mile to care for patients and their families.
