Daisy Award Presented
SALISBURY — Nurses at Peninsula Regional Medical Center are being honored with the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, a national program to recognize the outstanding efforts of nurses in their daily work.
The award recipient for November is Patrice Aversa, RN, a nurse in the Same Day Surgery Department. The nomination, written by a colleague, described how she provided excellent care not just to her patients, but to families too. When an elderly patient passed away, Aversa, who had been keeping the family apprised of the patient’s progress by phone, greeted them in person.
“Patrice took the husband and son to see their wife and mother, explained to them very caringly what to expect and stayed with them both during this very difficult time. The husband and son were extremely grateful for the time and energy that Patrice had taken with them under very sad conditions. She made them feel special and made sure that all their questions and concerns were answered. Patrice went out of her way to make sure that the husband and son were well cared for and made their final visit with their mother/wife a special one that they will remember,” the nominator wrote.
Extraordinary compassion and clinical skill, like that demonstrated by Aversa, are what the DAISY Award is intended to honor. Every month, a nurse will be selected by Peninsula Regional’s nursing administration to receive the DAISY Award.
