Margaux Chan, RN, BSN, of the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU), has been named the recipient of the prestigious national DAISY Award for July. Margaux was thoroughly surprised by her award announcement ceremony on July 8. After being present for DAISY Award ceremonies for many of her co-workers, this time it was Margaux’s turn!
She came in to work that day never suspecting that she would win the award. But when she saw her husband, Kevin, walk in, all that changed. In fact, according to reports, she was so emotional that co-workers had to give her a box of Kleenex.
“PACU really goes all out for their DAISY nurses,” DAISY Award Committee chair Marion Antoku says. “Margaux received a daisy-patterned crystal vase from Tiffany, a gift card from Nordstrom and a framed photo around which the entire PACU staff wrote personal notes. They also served bagels, coffee and other great snacks.“
Margaux now joins the many other nurses across the United States who have been honored each month with this prestigious national award. She received the traditional Healer’s Touch statue, a daisy plant, a DAISY Award pin, a certificate and the resounding praise of her co-workers.
DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System. The Foundation was formed in January 2000 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, who died at age 33 of complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP).
