DAISY Award
Congratulations to Sean Fraser
Sean Fraser, RN
Tower 6 Pediatrics
Sean was a cheerful, thoughtful nurse and a great advocate for my daughter Sylvia during her 4 day stay. When she had a rough night and fell asleep after the 6:00 a.m. rounds I asked him to keep her breakfast tray and let her sleep. I heard him ask the folks who wanted her to change beds to wait a while since she was asleep. He was very quiet coming in to do necessary things.
My daughter had a dress rehearsal and musical to play piano for and was hoping to leave the hospital Saturday or early Sunday to make the 3 hour drive home and then to the rehearsal. He was very persistent trying to get the necessary things done (by the Dr.’s etc.) and had the pharmacy fill the prescriptions on Saturday so we would not have to wait for them. The Doctor wanted her to spend the night but Sean had us ready to go by 5:45 a.m. so we did not have to miss what was important to her
About the DAISY Award
The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses recognizes outstanding members of the nursing community and the very special work they do every day. It was established by the DAISY Foundation in memory of the extraordinary nursing J. Patrick Barnes received when he was hospitalized. (DAISY is an acronym for diseases attacking the immune system.) This nursing recognition award program offers patients, families, and professional colleagues a way to honor nurses for all they do. The DAISY awardees consistently demonstrate excellence through their clinical expertise and extraordinary compassionate care.
