The below nomination came from a family member that was present while Jane cared for her father. Jane is an exceptional member of our team and this story highlights why she is so special and deserving of the DAISY Award:
My papa has been struggling for about 2 years and now we're at the end of his life. The care he received in ICU from Jane was more than we could have asked for. She always made sure my father was okay even if that meant spelling things word by word. She was heaven sent for our family and I'm very thankful. She even checked on our family after we left. Jane never left my father's side and even sat with him to calm him down. She was the only one who could make him eat real food and she fed him his last meals. Jane made sure that he knew he was taken care of and we couldn't have asked for a more caring and compassionate nurse.
