Leading with compassion...

Congratulations to nurse Erin King, R.N., the latest winner of the DAISY Award recognizing nurses who go above and beyond in delivering patient-centered care. King, who cares for patients on 4Medical at FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital in Pinehurst, was nominated by the family member of a patient who came to the hospital in May 2025.

“My mother has never been a compliant patient – she is difficult and cantankerous toward all…I warned Erin that my mom could be a handful and she said not to worry,” the family member wrote. “Erin was masterful in her approach. She used humor, smiled and said ‘I got you’ to my mom. She broke the fear.”

The family member said King’s approach made the hospital stay easy for her and her mother. “Erin is a seasoned nurse who intuitively and compassionately met my mother where she needed to be met. This cannot be taught in nursing school – a great nurse gets it,” the family member said.

“I don't know how to describe it. Erin's skillset goes beyond nursing. She was wonderful in helping my mother navigate making good decisions about her health and she treated her with dignity and respect. I am forever grateful.”
