DAISY Award—Nhi Phan

Nhi Phan
Davis 12

Nominator: Megan Thomas

Nomination: Hi! I am nominating Nhi for a DAISY award because she has been the best most caring, compassionate nurse during my stay. I came in for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome surgery and was only supposed to stay for 1 day, however due to unforeseen circumstances I ended up staying a while longer. Nhi always listened to my concerns, was willing to talk them through with me and made sure that I felt heard. She also went above and beyond, and recommended OT and PT come to see me when they weren’t originally going to see me, but because she listened to my concerns about having stairs at my house, she made sure they came to see me and that I was taken care of! When I was in severe pain that we couldn’t get under control she advocated for me with my doctors. She made it possible for me to actually get sleep at night due to her advocating for me. She made me feel like I was truly cared for as a patient and been there to advocate for me every step of the way. She truly is an exceptional nurse and deserves this and more. Thank you!
