An employee was sitting with a patient and overheard the patient saying to her husband that a nurse had come in and prayed and talked with her about the bible. She couldn't remember the nurse's name but she expressed how much it had made her feel better and had helped her to come out of the depression she was feeling. Vontta came by to see the patient the next day even though she was not assigned to her. According to Vontta's co-worker, "That is just Vontta's character. It doesn't have to be her patient for her to jump right into action, without hesitation, to get a job done. She always goes above and beyond for all the patients she comes into contact with. Vontta is an example of a true DAISY Nurse. She establishes memorable experiences, executes care with the highest of standards, and she exhibits consistent collaboration.
