Nurses honored

RUTLAND — Recently, Rutland Regional Medical Center’s Education and Clinical Excellence Team and Nursing Shared Governance honored four nurses with the DAISY Award.

The DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Foundation established the award program to recognize nurses who demonstrate exceptional care and support. The DAISY Award was given out for Individual and Team categories.

RRMC recognized two nurses with the DAISY Individual Award.

Grace Russell, BSN, RN, Emergency Department, was nominated by a peer for going above and beyond to help a patient. The patient came into the ED soaked from the rain with a very low body temperature. In addition to the patient’s medical needs, Russell ensured this patient had clean and dry clothes when discharged.
