Emily Ocke is an exceptional nurse. She is always going above and beyond for her patients and fellow nurses and PCTs. She is very knowledgeable and professional. I feel I can always go to her for help and advice. Thank you, Emily, for the great work that you do!

Emily is an exceptional and extraordinary nurse. She is very compassionate. I am so glad she was my brother's nurse. My brother has an intellectual disability and extreme OCD. Emily cared for him with such patience, compassion, and understanding. She made each day she cared for him a good day by happily greeting him and giving him 4 hugs and 4 handshakes before she left for the day. She is professional, skilled, and competent. I felt so comfortable having her as my brother's nurse.
As busy as she was, she always found time to answer my questions and alleviate my brother's fears and concerns. She also helped me find the name of a young resident who was so good to my brother, so I could write something important about him to share with his medical director.
Emily works as a team player and sets a wonderful example for the other nurses and PCTs. She is a wonderful nurse and overall an amazing person. My brother was so fortunate to be in her care!
Thank you, Emily!

Our family member was never sick, so it was such a shock to us all when he was diagnosed with lung cancer. Within two weeks he was in an unresponsive state. Our family was devastated, anxious and heartbroken. Emily Ocke was his day nurse.
Emily's compassion truly came from her soul. When entering the room, she always spoke to him in a kind and reassuring voice, telling him who she was and what she was going to do. She immediately recognized his anxiety and respiratory distress. She also picked up on the family's distress. With compassion and professionalism, she informed us of her plan of care to help him relax and help his respiratory status. She included the family in all decisions.
Emily's communication skills continued throughout the day, reducing everyone's fear and anxiety level. After report at the end of her shift, she stayed and made sure he was medicated so no time delay would alter his comfort level. Emily achieves and exceeds all criteria for a DAISY Award. I have been a nurse at MVH for 40 years and appreciate what a special nurse Emily is. She is the kind of nurse for which the DAISY Award is intended.
