Melanie Carrier, RN of Winchester Hospital is our most recent recipient of the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses after a fellow nurse nominated her for providing patients with “the utmost care and respect.”
In the nomination, the nurse described how Melanie was at a patient’s bedside during his final hours, providing comfort and support. When she couldn’t be at his side, she placed a radio in the room and played classical music for the patient.
“I could only hope that all patients could experience this kind of care in their final hours,” the nurse wrote. “The patient was so lucky to have had her as a nurse, and we’re so lucky to have the ability to work with her every day.”
