Congratulations to our recent recipient, Krystle Martin, RN, from Maternity at Mosaic Life Care at St. Joseph, Medical Center. The DAISY Award® For Extraordinary Nurses is part of the DAISY Foundation's programs to recognize the super-human efforts nurses perform every day. In St. Joseph, it is awarded monthly.
A grateful patient nominated Krystle. Her nomination reads:
“I am writing to nominate Krystle Martin for The DAISY Award for the exceptional care I received during one of the most significant moments of my life — delivering my baby. From the moment Krystle took over, she made me feel like everything was going to be OK. My labor had been slow going before she arrived, but she came in, took charge, and assured me that she and my doctor were going to do everything they could to help get my baby here safely before she left shift at 7 a.m. She instantly put me at ease, taking away any anxiety I had. Throughout the night, her attentiveness to my needs was unparalleled. She went completely above and beyond. She was always there to check in on me, ensuring my comfort, as well as my baby’s well-being, and she also kept my husband, and my mom informed of everything that was going on. The last two hours of my labor, she was at my bedside the entire time, holding my hand, coaching me through contractions, and doing anything she could to get me through the final stages of my labor.
What truly set Krystle apart was the fact that she shared in my excitement and joy, celebrating the little milestones of the process with me and cheering me on as she helped me bring my son into the world. Krystle was also my nurse during the birth of my daughter, who I unfortunately lost when I was only 16 weeks pregnant, so she knew how vulnerable and scared I was during this entire process. Her genuine care and commitment to ensuring a positive experience during such a precious time did not go unnoticed. She welcomed my rainbow baby with tears in her eyes and the biggest smile on her face. It was a beautiful moment, and I couldn’t have asked for a better nurse to be by my side. Even after the delivery, Krystle continued to provide exceptional care. She patiently answered all my questions, ensuring that I felt supported and confident in my new role.
In recognition of her unwavering commitment to exceptional patient care and her ability to make one of life’s most challenging experiences more manageable, I’d like to wholeheartedly nominate Krystle for The DAISY Award. She is truly a remarkable nurse who deserves this special recognition.”
