👋 Meet Margaret Jones, RN from 3 East, our medical/surgical floor.
Margaret is our DAISY Honoree for Extraordinary Nurses! A very big congratulations on your recognition!
👏🎉
Her nominator wrote: 📣 "Night shift often works quietly behind the scenes, but this nurse demonstrated that compassionate nursing care never sleeps. After surgery, my wife was pretty uncomfortable. Despite caring for many patients throughout the night, Margaret never made my wife feel like she was 'just another patient.' She responded promptly every time my wife called for assistance. Rather than rushing through tasks, she explained what she was doing, why it was important, and reassured my wife that what she was experiencing was normal. Her calm demeanor eased my wife's anxiety and gave her the confidence to participate in her recovery.

Margaret kept me informed, answered every question with patience and kindness, and treated my wife with dignity and genuine respect. Her clinical knowledge was evident in every interaction, but what truly distinguished her was the ability to combine exceptional nursing skills with heartfelt compassion. Experienced nurses often become the steady foundation of a unit, and this nurse is exactly that. Her professionalism, clinical excellence, and unwavering commitment to her patients are evident in every interaction. She not only provided outstanding care but also made my wife feel valued, heard, and genuinely cared for.

Because of Margaret, my wife remembers her hospital stay not only for her surgery but for the kindness she received during one of her most vulnerable moments.”

Margaret, we are so proud to have you on our team!
