Becky Walston, RN, orthopedics, makes the 78-minute drive for care worth it. That is what the patient said who nominated Becky for the DAISY award. The DAISY award recognizes extraordinary nurses who make a difference in the lives of people by the work they do every day.
Becky became Blessing Health System’s 113th DAISY award winner, based on the following patient nomination: “My special nurse is wonderful! From the moment I arrive for my appointment until it’s time to go, Becky is caring, considerate, and professional. I arrive from Jacksonville, Illinois, for my appointments, and the drive is well worth it. She greets me with a smile, remembers my name, and always reviews my last visit and updates.
Any questions I have she answers, or finds out the answers. Her professionalism is top-notch and greatly assures me of what I should or will be doing. Along with Dr. Park, they make a dynamic duo, better than Batman and Robin.
I was a police officer for 35 years and know that people are often the first to complain and the last to compliment. Well, this lady needs this compliment and award. She is the best!”
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. More than 5,400 healthcare providers and nursing education programs worldwide participate in the DAISY Award program.
Patients and their family members, visitors, doctors, hospital staff members or volunteers may recognize the extraordinary care provided by nurses through a DAISY award nomination.
