Allison received five nominations for the DAISY Award. Her peers say she demonstrates teamwork in every facet and always has a positive attitude. Allison assists other RNs, PCTs, even Housekeeping with linens and trash. She is always willing to help others, even recently lending a hand in the telemetry monitoring area.
Allison also recently assisted a contract nurse, who was new to UTMB, with a unstable patient. She contacted the medical team and was able to use her both her clinical expertise and her patient advocacy skills to facilitate the most appropriate treatment for the patient in a timely manner. One co-worker went on to say, "She defines the word "teamwork" where you can always hear her saying, "do you need help?"
