Stella Maez was nominated to receive a DAISY Award by a patient’s spouse who witnessed her providing compassionate and thorough care to her husband while admitted to our hospital. The nomination writer commented that Stella was very attentive and customized the patient’s care to his unique needs, including communication style and personal preferences. Stella had taken care of this patient throughout two admissions to the facility and got to know the patient and spouse well during that time. The patient passed away a few days after discharge from the hospital after the second admission, and the patient’s spouse was moved by Stella’s compassion and wanted to ensure that Stella was recognized for her excellence in nursing. The impact of Stella’s care was deeply felt by both the patient and his spouse, especially as the patient neared the end of his life. Stella receives this prestigious award for her demonstration of exceptional nursing, both for this patient and many others.
