Congratulations Amanda Tubbs, RN, Orthopedics, our recipient of the DAISY Award at St. Joseph Healthcare.
The Daisy Award is an internationally recognized honor given to extraordinary nurses who make a difference in the lives of patients and their families.
Amanda was nominated by a patient, who shared, "Throughout my hospital stay, Amanda made sure I was as comfortable and cared for as possible. She was always attentive, checking in and anticipating my needs. It was the little things that made such a difference, whether bringing me fresh ice packs, finding something I could eat or drink, or simply taking the extra time to make an uncomfortable situation a little easier. She also made sure my family felt welcomed and cared for, regularly checking on them and offering refreshments.
Amanda didn't just meet the expectations of her role; she genuinely paid attention to what would make a difference. She also demonstrated that same compassion while mentoring a newer nurse. I watched her teach with patience, kindness, and respect, making sure her colleague felt included and supported. It was clear she genuinely wanted her to learn and succeed.
At the end of every night, Amanda would say goodnight and, "I'll see you in the morning." It might seem like a small thing, but during a difficult hospital stay, knowing someone would be back to care for you brought tremendous comfort.
Amanda was truly a breath of fresh air. She made me feel safe, cared for, and heard. I never felt like a burden, even when I needed extra help. She is an incredible nurse and a true asset to St. Joseph Hospital. I will never forget the kindness she showed me and my family, and I can't think of anyone more deserving of a DAISY Award."
