As a registered nurse employed by Augusta Health in Fishersville, Virginia, Carolyn McCartney demonstrates and fulfills everything I feel would qualify her for the DAISY Award. Recently, I spent six days in the area of her care at Augusta Health.

During my stay Carolyn was, quite regularly, the nurse on duty. Though I will say all the nurses caring for me did excellent work, Carolyn stands out as the one whom I would be honored to nominate for the DAISY Award for the following reasons:

She was constantly pleasant, responsive and attentive to my needs, while, at the same time, demonstrating a high degree of competency and efficiency in her nursing skills.

Carolyn is genuine in her nature, strongly compassionate and possesses the outstanding ability to make one feel as much like a person as a patient, readily and naturally retaining and sharing details about things that are meaningful to her patients.

Her warm and personable demeanor and at the same time high degree of medical professionalism with her patients, their visiting family and friends and her coworkers, make her the perfect candidate for the DAISY Award.
