This is the award-winning letter sent to C. Rierson / A. Walker:
I WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND THESE 2 WONDERFUL LADIES FOR THE DAISY AWARD. I WOULD LIKE BOTH OF THEM TO GET THERE OWN BUT I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW THIS DAISY THING WORKS. I JUST KNOW THAT I HAVE TO GIVE MY THANKS TO BOTH OF THEM. I'AM A EMPLOYEE AT GENESYS AND I HAVE TO HAVE A PROCEDURE DONE EVERY 3 MONTHS AND I KNOW THE DIFFERANCE BETWEEN A COMPASIONATE NURSE AND ONE THAT IS JUST THERE TO DO THEIR 8 OR 10 HR. SHIFT. THESE 2 NURSES WERE THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD. CHERYL REIRSON WAS MY PRE-OP RN. SHE LISTENED TO ME I TOLD HER ABOUT MY PREVIOUS PROCEDURE AND THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAD WITH A I.V. BECAUSE THAT NURSE DID NOT LISTEN TO ME AND I ENDED UP WITH A HUGE HEMATOMA AND SEVERE SIDE EFFECTS FROM THE MEDICATION THAT WENT INTO THE HEMATOMA.SHE SAID SHE WOULD DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO MAKE ME FEEL COMFORTABLE AND SHE DID. I FELT SHE TREATED ME WITH LOVE AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HER.SHE WAS CARING AND LOVING, I FELT LIKE I HAD MY MOM TAKING CARE OF ME. WHEN I WOKE UP FROM MY SURGERY I HEARD A SWEET, SOFT, CALMING VOICE TELLING ME YOU ARE OUT OF SURGERY AND EVERYTHING WENT WELL. WHEN I OPENED MY EYES ANNMARIE WALKER A RN FROM RECOVERY WAS BY MY SIDE.I WAS IN A LOT OF PAIN AND SHE COULD TELL AND SHE MADE ME VERY, VERY COMFORTABLE. SHE KEPT ME WARM WITH WARM BLANKETS, HER KINDNESS AND WARMTH JUST BEAMED FROM HER FACE. SHE HAD A WARM GLOW TO HER. I FELT SAFE AND VERY WELL TOOKEN CARE OF. I FELT THAT DAY 12-29-05 WAS MY LUCKY DAY TO HAVE 2 EXCELLENT NURSES CARE FOR ME AND I HAD A PLEASURE BEING THEIR PT. PLEASE REWARD THESE NURSES SOMEHOW OR AT LEAST TELL THEIR MANAGER SO THEY CAN KNOW THAT THEIR EMPOLYEE'S PT.S REALLY APPECIATE THEIR FANTASTIC CARE.
