The patient stated he had a wonderful nurse today that spent a lot of time with him reviewing his meds and signs/symptoms to look for. He stated the other nurses were good but this nurse outshined them with her attention to detail, communication about his needs, and her overall presence.

Everyone here is wonderful but Stephanie is really special. She gives great care and is always so positive. I am so glad to see her in the morning. She really brightens my day and I feel so well cared for.

***

Stephanie has been a wonderful nurse. She is extremely compassionate and she always has a smile or kind word that helps to lighten the mood and distract from the need to be in the hospital. She goes above and beyond.

***

Stephanie is a wonderful caring RN. I walked in while she was delivering care today. This young man who arrived unresponsive at the hospital, facing the end of life had his favorite music playing “loud rock,” was being turned, bathed, and medicated. She followed up on visitors' and families' needs. She thinks about the bigger picture. You can see she is more than a “nurse.” She sees each of her patients as individuals and treats them as such.

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