Congratulations to our newest DAISY winner, Bailey. Here is the story:

Today, I ended up having to go to the ER to get checked out during my shift and Bailey was called to come over to the unit from the ICU to absorb my patient load so that I could be seen by a physician. Bailey came over without hesitation, took report, and I was able to go downstairs to get checked out. When I returned, I took my patients back over. Bailey could have left the unit since I was back, but instead he went above and beyond and provided some very much needed TLC to one of my patients. I witnessed Bailey’s compassion as he gently removed dried blood and build up from my patients nose and applied ointment and offered good skin care. Today was a very busy and overwhelming day, but Bailey stayed positive and continued to help out even when his task of watching over my patients was over. Bailey is always fun to work with as he is the nurse on the unit that is always lifting our spirits with his happy energy. The patients feel it too! Being a newer nurse, Bailey definitely shines with not only his knowledge in nursing, but his willingness to learn and his efforts to achieve optimal patient outcomes. I can not thank Bailey enough for everything he has done to help not only me, but the whole unit. THANK YOU BAILEY!!!
