🌟 We're honored to announce that Sune Simpson, RN-BSN, from 2 East, has been recognized with a DAISY Award for her remarkable compassion, skill, and wholehearted dedication to her patients and team. 🎉
Few nurses embody both the art and heart of nursing as completely as Sune does. She has a unique gift for connecting with patients, offering gentle encouragement and comfort in moments that matter most. Whether she's softly singing "You Are My Sunshine" to help calm a patient or guiding someone through deep breathing to ease their pain, Sune's care is both clinical and deeply human.

Her patients often remark on how special it feels to be under her care. One recently shared that they felt "spoiled" by Sune's care—a sentiment that perfectly captures her blend of compassion, kindness, and attentiveness. She takes the time to truly listen, providing not just expert medical care, but an experience of dignity and warmth that stays with people long after they leave the hospital.

Sune's compassion also extends to her colleagues. She's known for her generosity, whether it's supporting her team without hesitation or sharing her incredible homemade baked goods at huddle. She leads with humility and brings thoughtful insight to new initiatives on the unit, always striving to make things better for both patients and staff.

When Sune is on the schedule, everyone knows the shift will be brighter. Her heart, humility, and dedication exemplify what it means to be a nurse—and why she is so deserving of the DAISY Award. 💚

Please join us in celebrating Sune for the exceptional care, kindness, and inspiration she brings to Kootenai Health every single day.
