Elizabeth, a nurse in the ICU at MHMMC Biddeford, has earned a DAISY Award for her care of a patient with heart failure. The patient shared she was feeling scared and overwhelmed by the information she was receiving until Elizabeth came in.
The patient wrote: “She was calm and caring, confident and knowledgeable, and wise with a grace of wisdom. Liz put all that complex information into a simple language for me. She answered every question I had. She was reassuring, connecting the dots for me. What was overwhelming to me became calm and peaceful. The unknown became knowledge. Suddenly, I was not alone.”
The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses was created to recognize and honor the compassionate care nurses provide every day to the patients they serve. It is celebrated in over 5,400 healthcare facilities and nursing schools in 34 countries.
Congratulations, Elizabeth!
