CNRV Daisy of the Year- Sami Dale

Sami Dale with the PACU team is being awarded for Daisy of the Year for CNRV. A patient’s family member stated that her husband was seen in the ER for a piece of steak lodged in his throat. The patient ended up requiring endoscopy for the removal. Due to the family childcare needs, the wife was unable to stay with him for the duration of the procedure. The family reports that Sami had provided nursing care for the patient during pre-op, OR and recovery. The family stated the Sami went above and beyond to take the time to contract the wife and provide regular updates of the care being provided. With Sami taking the extra time to contact the wife, this allowed the wife to be with their kids and feel very involved in his care, ultimately decreasing the worry that she initially thought she would experience. Sami had provided post op instructions to the patient, as well as taking extra time to notify the wife and explain everything that was going on with the patient. The patient’s family was very appreciative of the support and compassion that Sami offered to not only the patient, but the family as well. The family stated that if they find themselves in need of medical care again, they hope they can have a nurse like Sami.

Congratulations Sami!!
