Congrats to our newest DAISY Winner Chloe Dalton. Here is the story, “I had been having regular contractions, so my husband and I headed to the hospital. I could tell my contractions were getting closer and stronger but upon an exam by Chloe, we found out that I was actually very (unexpectedly) close to delivery. We were thankful that Chloe had already started to compile our paperwork prior to us arriving. Having a lot to do and not a lot of time, Chloe kept calm and worked as a team with other nurses to make sure everything was ready for delivery. She coached me through the entire process. […] While it could have been a very nerve-racking process, Chloe made sure my husband and I understood everything that was happening, answered every question we had, and was there for any concern we expressed. Her care and passion for us as her patients made our experience something very special. She even took a few moments to check in on us in post-partum. She will always hold a special part in our memories for her compassionate and outstanding care.”

She was extremely knowledgeable and informative, making sure we understood. … I’m not sure I have ever met a more compassionate, comforting and knowledgeable person, and I know I have never met a nurse like her.

“Zoey is as compassionate a nurse and human I have had the pleasure to meet. She cared for my father as his nurse overnight. She always made sure to treat my dad as if he were her own family member. Her knowledge and genuine care showed throughout. She went above and beyond in care, even asking if my father would like her to pray for him. I am so grateful she took the time to comfort my father and myself in our time of need.”

Meet our newest DAISY award recipient, Mike Cullinan. Mike is an Emergency Services Registered Nurse at Riverside Healthcare. The DAISY Award is an honor that recognizes the exceptional, skillful, and compassionate care these nurses demonstrate for our patients and families every day.
His nomination read, “Mike is an excellent example of what all people in the nursing profession should strive to be. He provides exception care to all of his patients and always goes above and beyond for their needs, no matter what extreme circumstances he and his ED team face every single day. Not only is Mike a fantastic nurse, but he is also one of the best coworkers anyone could ask for. Mike offers so much support and reassurance to everyone in the department. No matter how tough the night may be, Mike is always there offering help wherever needed and does his absolute best to support one another when we are all stressed out. Recently, Mike has served as relief charge nurse and does an extraordinary job at it. One night that stands out, July 5th; was a very busy night. Mike was in charge and like always, the department was extremely short staffed yet Mike was able to run the department like no other. Aside from being in charge of the ED, Mike also had his own assignment and also juggled a variety of tasks such as answering the EMS radio and making sure that patients were moving in and out of the ED appropriately, to accommodate all of the patients that continued to check in all night. From the start to the end of that shift not a single hour went by without multiple patients checking in, yet Mike did not allow that to affect him or his work ethic. Mike is always putting the needs of others before his own which shows just how amazing of a person he is. Mike is extremely liked by others and does not give himself enough credit for everything he does for the ED. If you were to ask anyone in the ED, they would say Mike is one of the best preceptors, coworker, friend and nurse Riverside has to offer. I am grateful to get to work with a nurse that inspires others to become a better person. Mike is very deserving of this award and should be recognized for the differences he makes in his patients and coworkers.” #DAISYaward
