Congratulations to Paytyn Guess, ADN, RN, for being this month's DAISY Foundation Award recipient! The DAISY Award honors outstanding nurses who provide exceptional care and compassion to their patients. She was nominated by a co-worker who said:
“I had a sick patient who was visibly anxious and distressed. Paytyn immediately jumped in to help. She provided verbal reassurance and empathy and talked him through everything we were doing. She helped calm his anxiety with personal touch, emotional reassurance and empathy. This was not even her patient, and she had a full patient load herself! Shortly before, she had helped take care of another patient who was belligerent towards staff. Paytyn's demeanor did not deviate. Her ability to remain calm and level with emotionally complex patients is astounding. Paytyn is such a valuable resource and team player for the emergency department, and she treats every single patient with patience, kindness and empathy.”
Congratulations, Paytyn, and thank you for the excellent care you provide at Liberty Hospital! To learn more about how you can nominate an exceptional nurse for the DAISY Award, visit libertyhospital.org.
