I was admitted to Scotland Memorial Hospital with severe COVID-19 and pneumonia. Tina went above and beyond the call of duty as a nurse. On several occasions, even some days when she wasn’t my nurse, she would stop by to check on me. Tina would closely monitor my oxygen, but most of all she would encourage me, cheer me on, sometimes just hold my hand to comfort me. The nurses are really the front-line heroes. Sometimes all it takes is a little extra compassion to turn a bleak day into a better day. I want Tina and her team to know how grateful my entire family and I are for not only her skills as a nurse but her selfless service as a person.

Note: This is Tina's 2nd DAISY Award!
