DAISY Award for Nurses
|
The MUSC DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Award for Nurses is a monthly award and is part of the DAISY Foundation’s program to recognize the
super-human efforts nurses perform every day. The foundation was formed in January 2000 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes
who died of complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP).
All DAISY Award winners received an African Shona Tribe
sculpture entitled, “A Healer’s Touch,” a framed certificate, and a DAISY Award
pin. The DAISY Foundation also delivered cinnamon rolls to all the nurses in
each winner’s unit.
MUSC is among 400 medical facilities honoring
nurses with The DAISY Award. This is one initiative of the foundation whose
overall goal is to help fight diseases of the immune system.
June honoree
 Emily Wright, 7W
“Emily
was everything a nurse should be. She was caring, prompt, smart, and
one of the best health care providers I have ever had. This is saying a
lot being that my wife and I are also nurses, and she went over and
beyond to make our stay the best I have ever had in a healthcare
facility. MUSC is very lucky to have such a great nurse as Emily.
Thanks for everything and keep it up. People like her, Gretchen,
R.N., day shift R.N., Dr. Lambert, and Dr. Oliver make MUSC the best
health care facility not just hospital in the whole United States. I
would not use anyone but MUSC for my medical needs from now own. These
staff members from the CA's to doctors to RN's who worked on my case
should be given top honors, thanks for everything.”
