From the moment we met Casey, her radiating bright and cheerful demeanor was contagious.
Dear DAISY Award Committee, I am honored to nominate Nurse Casey Hershey for the DAISY Award.
The hospitalization of a family member can be an incredibly stressful experience, particularly when that family member has autism and intellectual disabilities, as is the case with my sister, C. However, Casey's exceptional care and attention during C's recent hospitalization made all the difference.
From the moment we met Casey, her radiating bright and cheerful demeanor was contagious. She went above and beyond to ensure C felt comfortable and respected, treating her with genuine compassion and dignity. Casey embodies the values of Johns Hopkins Hospital, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her as C's nurse during this difficult time.
What sets Casey apart is not just her skill as a nurse, but her ability to connect with her patients on a personal level. She shared her heart with C, making the hospital feel less intimidating and scary for her. As family members, we were reassured knowing that C was in such capable and caring hands.
In addition to her clinical skills, Casey is a patient and thorough teacher. She came into the hospital on her day off and provided excellent in-depth and hands-on training to my family, covering the new equipment and procedures and ensuring we would be ready to care for C at home.
Casey's dedication and professionalism are unmatched. She is a true ambassador for Johns Hopkins Hospital, and her compassion and expertise make her an exemplary nurse. Casey is an outstanding candidate for the DAISY Award.
