Tania displayed enthusiasm with her positivity and keeping my spirits high. She was an excellent caregiver and explained everything clearly to help me take care of myself after I leave. She was very respectful of how I was feeling and addressed my pain and discomfort. Her explanation of emptying my drains was creative and thorough.

Tania's passion for nursing is a wonderful asset to your hospital. Our brother has been a patient (in-house) several times. Tania always treats him with respect and above all, truly cares about him. She has been so helpful to our family as we travel a journey of hope. I sat outside his room in the waiting area and she sat beside me. As I tearfully told her of my brother's story, she put her hand on my shoulder. When I looked at her, she was crying as well. Nurses are trained to make a patient get well and go home. She couldn't do that for my brother but certainly had made his stay a little more bearable. He was sad when it was her days off! In fact, our entire family felt the same way! My brother really liked that she talked to him like an adult, with much respect.
She never seemed to hurry our family as we asked many questions. Our family will forever be thankful for her. Tania has made this difficult situation our brother faces a little less painful. She is forever in our hearts!

Note: This is Tania's second DAISY Award!
