wendell tipuden, RN

I got released this week from Roseville Medical Center for my 4th vascular surgery in 11 months. I've spent 19 nights and 21 days on my back in a hosptial bed and have received outstanding treatment from numerous nurses and nurse techs. Everyone I have come in contact with has provided excellent care. On past stays, I knew that the DAISY Award existed, but felt guilty singling out one person for recognition when everyone had done such a great job. This visit was different, and one nurse stood our above and beyond all others I have worked with and I'd like to see him recognized.

Wendell was assigned to provide care on 2 shifts when I was at my lowest point- 4 surgeries on the same area and wonderfing if life would ever return to normal. Wendell came to my room 3 hours after surgery and my first night in the hospital. When I complained about my situation, he was compassionate, listened, and assured me that things would get better. When I had issues with discomfort or pain, Wendell was there to discuss solutions to ease my situation. He was extremely efficient and knowledgeable in the delivery of his care and I am grateful for having had Wendell on my team for the two nights that he was there.

Thank you, Wendell! You were the best!
