Tiffany Tucker – 3 South was selected as the DAISY award winner for June. She was nominated by a fellow associate who made the following comments:

I wanted to express the great job a young nurse Tiffany Tucker RN did for her very ill patient last night. A rapid response was called her patient in room 342W. When I arrived the Rapid Response Team and Dr. King were in attendance and Tiffany was at the bedside with her patient. As I stood there she was very calm and reassuring to her sick patient and verbalizing her concern and objective findings to Dr. King. She reminded this very sick man that she would not leave him and that she would take care of him. Her caring and sweet soft voice was quite impressive. The patient eventually was made a DNR and expired. Her patient’s last hour was spent with a wonderful caring nurse before he died and I am sure that gave him some peace.
