DAISY Award—Ellen Kim, B.S.N., R.N.

Ellen Kim, B.S.N., R.N.
East 8 Med/Surg Specialty Unit

I've been hospitalized almost a week. I was a patient of Kaiser for years and recently lost my insurance. Coming here I was very concerned and scared due to my chronic medical conditions and having to start over with new providers. My care at UC Davis has been amazing in every way. All my nurses have been extremely good but my nurse Ellen is awesome! She is one of the best nurses I've ever had, her demeanor and professionalism is of perfection. She follows all protocols such as reviewing my medications, possible side effects, she assists with my ADL’s, and she makes sure I have all my needs met. All the nurses need to be like Ellen. She is kind, gentle, professional, and compassionate. I would like to nominate Ellen for a DAISY award and if I could nominate her for a dozen DAISY awards I would.
