My 92-year-old mother had surgery late this afternoon at UAMS and was fortunate to have Lauren Taylor as her nurse in recovery. Lauren called me directly a number of times during a period that my mother was delirious, upset, and confused in an attempt to learn how to best calm her down. She was so caring and told me she was keeping my mother with her a bit longer so that Mom would receive her focused attention.
Clearly, Lauren went above and beyond what many would have done in a similar situation. She is an Extraordinary Nurse and more importantly, a very special human being, and my family and I are truly grateful for her service at a difficult time.
Note: This is Lauren's 2nd DAISY Award!
