Accomplishments
- "The Daisy Award" - I was honored to receive The Daisy Award while employed at White River Medical Center, I was nominated by a patient and then chosen because of my demonstration for patient advocacy. The family stated in the submission that I was the only nurse they had seen during their stay that worked so hard to get this patient heard and her pain controlled, and kept the family informed and involved in her care.
