Lisa Turner, MSN, RN, CEN, a Rapid Response Team (RRT) nurse who was praised for leading with loving kindness, has been honored with the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, endorsed by The DAISY Foundation.

Lisa was nominated for the DAISY Award by a colleague who shared, "Lisa is truly one of the most deserving nurses for this recognition. RRT nurses often do not receive the recognition they truly deserve, yet our hospital would not function without them. I love working with Lisa! Any time she is on, I feel completely supported knowing I can go to her for help or learning. She is always willing to teach and help others grow into better nurses. Her dedication to patient care is evident in everything she does. She ensures patients are clean, comfortable, and cared for before leaving the room, and she never hesitates to step in when a nurse needs assistance. Lisa embraces every element of the Caritas Process. She leads with loving-kindness, forms genuine, caring relationships with patients and staff, and consistently practices compassion, respect, and presence. Her ability to speak multiple languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian, enhances her inclusive, patient-centered care, making patients feel seen and heard. Lisa consistently checks in on patients when they call and treats each person with kindness. She exemplifies the true spirit of nursing."
