We could not have asked for a more wonderful nurse.
When a family member is in the hospital, it can be stressful – no matter the situation. However, having a compassionate and caring nurse can make even the most difficult situations bearable. Katlyn Lawson, RN, was that nurse for a patient’s family and is Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital’s latest DAISY Award winner.
Katlyn, who works on the critical care unit, was nominated for the DAISY award by a patient’s daughter. According to the nomination, Katelyn was the patient’s nurse for 4 nights. “Katlyn cared for him extremely well and made sure that he was as comfortable as possible. She sat with him so I could go to the restroom or get some food. She washed his hair and beard and combed them. She always asked if we needed anything and was a wonderful advocate for his care,” wrote the patient’s daughter.
While the patient did pass away, the daughter says Katlyn provided the highest quality care during his time in the hospital. “We could not have asked for a more wonderful nurse,” added the patient’s daughter.
