Congratulations to Tara L., who recently received the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses! 🌼⁠ ⁠ Here is an excerpt from her nomination:⁠ "We never expected a trip to Rochester for a routine appointment to end with two procedures. After my ECG, the medical team suddenly rushed in, informing me that I was experiencing ventricular tachycardia and needed to be hospitalized immediately. We were far from home, with no essentials. Feeling overwhelmed, we were comforted by nurse Tara, who brought us toiletries and other essentials. She regularly checked on us, offering reassurance. Tara even comforted my worried granddaughter, bringing a much-needed smile to her face. While all the nurses were great, Tara truly felt like our guardian angel."⁠ ⁠ Mayo Clinic is among over 5,000 healthcare organizations worldwide committed to the DAISY Award program. The DAISY Award is presented each month to an extraordinary nurse.⁠ ⁠ Explore career opportunities in nursing at Mayo Clinic at the link in our bio. #Nursing #Careers #NursingCareer
