As the CNO I am inspired by Jobic, I am so proud of all of his professional accomplishments in his young nursing career, and thankful for the great care he continuously provides to our patients and their families.
It is with pride that I support Jobic Ray Butao in being nominated for the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. As a nurse executive and Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) it is amazing to witness the professional unfolding of a novice to proficient and now an advanced clinical nurse impacting nursing practice. Jobic joined the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) as a resident in the health system's nurse residency program. In less than three years, he has been voted ICU Employee of the Month multiple times, Hospital Employee of the Month, and Nurse of the Year, received several DAISY nominations and one DAISY Award and is the 2018 Florida Nurses Association RN of the Year awardee.
Jobic is a member of numerous councils and Chair of the ICU Unit Based Practice Council. The initiatives he has undertaken include (PLATO) Proactive Leadership Attention to Outcomes, an infection control prevention project in which he leads his team and partners with executive and clinical leadership for intentional rounding. This project is a collaboration with the CNO, Chief Medical Officer, Quality, Infection Control and ICU leadership. The initiative aims to improve the safe care of patients by reducing the CAUTI & CLABSI incidence in the ICU. The ICU has had zero CLABSI for 11 consecutive months and only one CAUTI in the past 18 months. As a result, this exemplary patient safety practice is now rolled out to all patient care areas hospital-wide. The next step is to share this with the rest of the hospitals in the system.
Another contribution is his involvement in the engagement programs for the ICU, effectively influencing others to participate in team-building activities sponsored, initiated, planned, and implemented by the staff. Jobic is a dynamic peer leader; he is BSN prepared and CCRN certified, he has a huge impact on the increase of certified nurses in ICU. Jobic is a co-investigator in research studies and has several professional podium and poster presentations. He created a patient safety video to enhance staff's awareness of falls. He volunteers in organization community programs and his church and other church-related outreach programs. Jobic's leaders are proud of him, his peers respect and admire him, and his patients and their families love him. One of his ICU leaders once said, "We did not find Jobic as the "right fit" for our team rather we found him as the "best fit" for our patients, staff and organization." As the CNO I am inspired by Jobic, I am so proud of all of his professional accomplishments in his young nursing career, and thankful for the great care he continuously provides to our patients and their families. I can only envision that because of the exemplary professional practice with a focus on patient safety and positive outcomes that Jobic continues to demonstrate, nursing is and will be better today and in the years to come.

Jobic has been nominated several times for the DAISY Award for his kindness, gentle, caring, and compassionate care. One particular patient was very challenging to deal with (verbally abusive, handful, and belligerent). Throughout it all, Jobic maintained his calm and only ever treated him with the utmost respect and dignity. As his prognosis grew more acute and life-threatening, Jobic continued to provide him with quality and compassionate care. Jobic recognized the patient's concerns and often found a resolution for all of them. He gave bedside shift reports that never allowed the patient to feel in the dark about any aspect of the care. He is a patient advocate, committed and dedicated to patients' quality of care, and he promotes patient-centered care and family focus.
As a unit UBPC chair, I witnessed him reaching out to his team and all the leaders to intervene to decrease hospital-acquired infections such as CLABSI and CAUTI in our unit. Jobic implemented an evidence-based rounding with leadership, Proactive Leadership Attention to Outcomes (PLATO), and (Hospital Acquired Condition) HAC hours initiative resulting in positive patient outcomes. I also witnessed Jobic informing the patients about their rights in a particular situation, ensuring they have all the information necessary to make informed decisions, supporting them in their decisions and choices, and protecting and safeguarding their interests. Jobic consistently listens to his patients' and families' wishes, developing an appropriate plan of care that maximizes the patients' comfort and dignity. We have a patient who stayed in our unit for about a month. The patient was very ill. The patient's family almost gave up, but Jobic never stopped giving them hope, reassuring them that everything that could be done was being done, and updating the patient's family that the patient's safety and comfort were his ultimate priority. He followed up with the family for clarification and answered questions and concerns in a timely manner. He encouraged the family in planning the care of their loved one and integrated them into a holistic plan of care. After the patient was discharged to rehabilitation, Jobic visited the patient and the family to support them during the patient's recovery process. Recently, the patient's wife updated us that her husband has recovered, and the patient was able to attend his daughter's graduation.
As his supervisor for almost two years. I have seen Jobic display maturity and professionalism beyond his years, allowing his patients and their family members to feel at ease and confident that they will receive the best care possible. In our unit, we deal with end-of-life issues on a daily basis, which can be difficult for a young new nurse. Jobic has taken the wheels over the first year and excelled in this area in the following year. It is rare to find such a young nurse who is so talented and gifted in nursing. It is a great honor and privilege to nominate him for the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses.

Sometimes in life unpredictable things happen that we cannot control, as a family we were very blessed that our father had a speedy recovery post-op. While in the ICU, the moment when you are more stressed, sometimes the nursing staff makes a big difference. Being a nurse is not only a skilled profession of expertise and knowledge it is something that comes from within. Being a nurse myself for eight years, I feel very blessed that we came across an amazing team in the ICU, but specially Jobic; he represents the true meaning of professionalism not only because of his knowledge and expertise but also his ability to be compassionate, caring and understanding of patient needs, my father. We were very blessed to have him as our nurse in ICU. Thank you for making a difference! You will never be forgotten! Thank you!
