I’ve observed her with other patients, she is a nurse with such a caring heart. May God continue to bless this hospital with her presence and heart.
Diana was nominated by a patient and by families of patients for this award, writing: “There have been many times that I was in pain, crying, and Danni calmed me down and gave me my medicine quickly. She has made me comfortable staying overnight and being without my mom. She was there to help with my stitches, being in pain, my belly piercing and also my leg placements.” “Danni goes above and beyond the call of duty. My mom was having breathing problems, her heart rate was 150. She taught her this breathing method which brought her heart rate down 50 points in 5 minutes. I’ve observed her with other patients, she is a nurse with such a caring heart. May God continue to bless this hospital with her presence and heart. I was a bit reserved because I heard horror stories about this hospital. From what I see, each nurse was very caring. The next patient was complaining about being in the hospital. Danni reminded him to focus on his healing instead of his hurt”  “Nurse Danni is such an amazing nurse. She makes sure all my husband’s needs and worries are taken care of. We are so blessed to have her as our nurse, we really appreciate her so much.”
