Sara Eadelman, BSN, RN, CCRN, is a critical care nurse on the Trauma Care Unit. Recently, Sara cared for a young patient who spent nearly two weeks in the hospital following a car accident. “I was scared. I’m fifteen. I last recall being at school in class and here I am with a room full of nurses. Sara was kind, she talked to me, and she explained everything to me. Over the next few days, she’d ask me personal questions and smiled with me. One day she even made me an ice cream sundae because she thought I could use one – which also made my mom happy because she got me to eat. Sara made my days in the ICU better.” Read Sara’s full nomination

About the DAISY Award
The DAISY Award is supported by the not-for-profit DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Foundation. Bonnie and J. Mark Barnes created this foundation and award as a way to remember their son, J. Patrick Barnes. Patrick had a disease that attacked his body and was in the hospital for a long time. His nurses did such a great job with him that the Barnes family created an award that continues to recognize the excellent work nurses do every day.
