Because of Stacey’s actions, my husband is alive today.
Stacey quite literally saved my husband’s life during a very complicated angioplasty. Her diligence, expertise, and refusal to give up made all the difference.
During the procedure, Stacey recognized that something was not right and persistently searched for the underlying heart issue. She never stopped advocating, never became complacent, and remained completely focused on finding the problem when others might have assumed everything was fine. Her attention to detail, critical thinking, and calm determination were extraordinary.
Because of Stacey’s actions, my husband is alive today. Other nurses on the unit told us directly that Stacey saved his life and that cases like this are “one in a million.” Her skill, compassion, and commitment to patient care go far beyond what is expected of a nurse. We will forever be grateful to Stacey for her lifesaving care, her perseverance, and her unwavering dedication. She represents the very best of the nursing profession and is a true DAISY Nurse.
