“No matter how hectic the day is… she always makes us feel like my husband is the only patient under her care.”

🌼 We’re celebrating Allison Nold, RN, whose compassion and steady presence made all the difference for a family facing repeated hospital stays this year. 🌼

Jesse, whose husband Walt was in and out of Beaufort Memorial, nominated Allison for the DAISY Award after experiencing her kindness, humor and unwavering attention firsthand.

With more than two decades on the fourth floor, Allison brings comfort, clarity and reassurance to every patient she cares for. Her impact is felt not only in the care she provides, but in how she makes families feel safe and supported during their most difficult moments.

Join us in congratulating Allison on this well-deserved honor!
