In recognition of National Nurses Week (May 8-12), Gaylord Specialty Healthcare presented its first DAISY Award for Extraordinary Care to Jamie Wortman, RN of East Haven.
DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System. The award was created by the DAISY Foundation in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, who died of an auto-immune disease in 1999. The Barnes family created the international award and foundation to recognize and honor nurses who demonstrate clinical skills, caring and compassion such as those who cared for Patrick.
The Gaylord Specialty Healthcare DAISY Award committee will present the award to a nurse who has established a special connection with a patient or a family, has made a difference in the life of a patient, shows empathy, is an outstanding role model for the nursing profession, consistently exhibits excellent interpersonal skills, and exemplifies the essence of professional nursing in all activities.
Wortman, a nurse of six years, explained that although she is thrilled to have been recognized with the DAISY Award, the ultimate reward is being able to watch her patients make gains and achieve positive outcomes.
“My patients come here at their lowest point,” she said. “Seeing them progress and go home or move on to the next level of care is really what drives me as a nurse every day.”
