Brogan McCutchan, RN and Tim Tranor, Chief Nursing Officer
Brogan was nominated by the daughter of a 92-year-old patient who had been admitted to the hospital for the first time in her life after suffering injuries in a fall.
“Brogan was respectful of how much pain mom was in and went out of her way to do everything that she could to make mom’s stay tolerable. She had several good suggestions on how mom could lay in bed to minimize pain.
It is obvious that Brogan is a dedicated nurse not only patient oriented but also works well with patient’s families. She sets a high example for the entire nursing staff at Blessing.”
DAISY stands for “Diseases Attacking the Immune System.” The family of a 33-year-old man, who died of an immune system disorder, began the program in 1999 to honor his memory by recognizing extraordinary nurses everywhere who make a difference in the lives of people by the work they do every day. More than 4,800 healthcare providers worldwide participate in the DAISY Award program.
DAISY award nomination forms are located on all nursing units throughout Blessing Hospital and on the internet at blessinghealth.org/recognize.
