Here is what Rita Perez's colleagues, patients and their families who nominated her for The DAISY Award had to say about her:
"Rita is an awesome nurse. She has compassion for her patients. She is personable with the families of the patient."
"Rita gave great care to my loved one during her stay. Thank you for showing your caring ways."
"Best care ever from this nurse."
"Very good nurse."
"Rita gave such good, loving care to our mother while in the hospital. She went above and beyond to make our mom's stay as comfortable as she could. Couldn't ask for a better nurse. Thank you."
"She took very good care of my Grammie when she was in over the weekend and she is my whole world."
"I had a heart attack in the Rapid Recovery Center after returning from the Cath Lab. I had a blocked artery in my right leg, which was corrected by a procedure performed by Dr. W. Once stabilized, I was transferred under the care of Rita. She made a difference in my life every day. Since I am diabetic, she made sure I had my breakfast scheduled with my insulin. She was firm with the kitchen staff and made them aware of my needs. I also need to tell you how kind and compassionate Rita was to me. She treated me with respect and care and was very attentive to my needs."
"Rita always goes above and beyond for her patients. She has always been a strong advocate for her patients as well. She has a great passion and a strong drive for nursing. I remember a moment she showed how caring she was for her patient. She had a man who was passing away and had no family around. Rita stayed in his room at his bedside letting him know he was not alone and was OK to go. She is an amazing person, inside and out. Rita shows the same amount of compassion to every single patient."
"Rita is a very professional and caring nurse. She went out of her way to enable me to return to Slate Belt Rehab before the time that I was due back. She was on top of administering not only the medications I was to receive but also the three units of blood and one of platelets - all with a positive and very cheerful attitude. Rita is an extraordinary nurse who is a valuable asset to the hospital."
