Teresa cared for a patient on the 15th floor who was admitted for emergency surgery after having same-day surgery just one day before. With only a short amount of time before the emergency surgery start time, Teresa worked quickly to admit the patient and prep them for the procedure. Her patient's family said, "Teresa was skillful and compassionate. She approached us with respect in a way that allowed our family member to maintain her dignity. She answered questions and made sure that our needs were met."
Teresa's compassion and commitment to the patient experience exemplify what it means to be a DAISY nurse. Congratulations on your achievement and thank you for all you do!
