🌼 This month, we honor our Daisy Award recipient – Bobbie! 🌼

A registered nurse at Northwest Emergency at Town Square she was recognized for her incredible impact in teaching and inspiring the next generation of nurses. Read her nomination from one of her student's below:

"There are hundreds, maybe even thousands of ways to compliment someone, but none of them feel like enough when I try to describe Bobbie. She is truly exceptional. I have never been around someone with such a rare combination of clinical knowledge, critical thinking, and genuine compassion. There is nothing you can ask her that she doesn’t know, and yet she always approaches others with humility, patience, and kindness. Bobbie is a once-in-a-lifetime nurse. The kind who inspires everyone around her to be better and do better.

As a preceptor, she is the kind of teacher every student hopes for but rarely finds. Walking into clinicals as a student can be intimidating, especially when a preceptor doesn’t seem interested in teaching or in having students at all. With Bobbie, it is the exact opposite. She takes the time to explain, to demonstrate, and most importantly, to involve her students. She actively seeks out opportunities for us to practice our skills, and she does it in a way that makes you feel supported rather than judged. I often tell her, “I want to grow up to be like you,” but the truth is, if I end up being even half as good of a nurse as she is, I will consider that an incredible success.

Her patients feel that same impact. Bobbie always meets people exactly where they are. She takes the time to truly listen, never seeming rushed, never judgmental. Patients feel heard, valued, and cared for in a way that only she can provide.

Her influence reaches far beyond students and patients—coworkers also look to Bobbie as a role model and a leader. She is the kind of nurse who makes those around her feel safe, cared for, and inspired. Northwest is incredibly fortunate to have her.

Bobbie deserves recognition not only for her excellence as a nurse, but also for the way she treats people—with respect, compassion, and encouragement. She embodies everything the DAISY Award stands for, and I cannot imagine someone more deserving."

🌼 This month, we honor our Daisy Award recipient – Solomon! 🌼

Solomon was recognized for his outstanding teamwork and compassion in caring for patients and supporting those he works alongside. Read his nomination from a fellow colleague:

"Solomon is not only one of the most professional nurses I have worked with, but he is also patient and kind when dealing with our needs as the ED's sister department. Solomon always finds a way to help us when we have a need and no matter how busy or stressed he is, Solomon treats my coworkers and me with courtesy, respect and a good, helpful attitude. This is a quality that should be desired and rewarded by all staff. Solomon exemplifies the best of nursing and embodies Northwest's mission. I am grateful to work with Solomon and honored to nominate him for this Daisy Award."
