Every day Karen goes above and beyond for her patients, but today she was amazing. She spends hours at the bedside with an extremely sick patient who has been in our unit for two months. She has also gotten to know the family and constantly updates them. Today, she took the patient outside for the first time in months, so he could get fresh air and a little sunshine. It was no easy trip, as this patient has two wound vacs, IV poles, a trach, and multiple other tubes. Despite all this, Karen made it happen! She works so hard for her patients and does not miss a moment to teach, encourage and motivate them. She inspires us all to be better at the bedside! Her compassion and advocation for her patients are one of a kind. She is a true DAISY Nurse.
