Nomination from a nursing employee:

I would like to nominate Candy Bailey for the DAISY award.

We received a new patient that was not doing well. Within 30 minutes, she assessed the patient, recognized the seriousness of the situation, and asked for help so she could stay at the patient’s bed side. The patient was transferred to a higher level of care then straight to cath lab for emergency stenting. She truly showed many characteristics deserving a DAISY award. She utilized her critical thinking skills, she was a patient advocate, listened to the patient, and was compassionate and caring. She always puts the needs of the patient first.

She made a difference in the life of a patient today, calmly, professionally, and with a great attitude!
