Hobbs nominated for DAISY Award

EMH

News release

Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center (EMRMC) is pleased to recognize and honor one of its nurses for her extraordinary patient care. Jackie Hobbs, RN, a nurse in the Emergency Department at EMRMC, was one of many nurses nominated for the DAISY Award. A resident of Mercer County, Jackie has been caring for patients at EMRMC for six years. 

She was nominated by several patients. One of the patient’s family members said, “Around midnight on a Sunday night, I had to take my grandson to the ER. He is developmentally delayed and nonverbal. Even though he was quite sick, he can still be a handful. Jackie was not his nurse at first, but she stepped in and handled him beautifully. She got down on his level and let him participate in any procedures. She was patient and understanding. Even though she had other patients that she was caring for, she never acted rushed with him. I cannot say how much her professionalism and caring meant to me. She impressed me with her nursing skills. She was organized, had everything she needed at bedside and acted swiftly while he was still drowsy. I trusted her at that time and let her accompany him to ultrasound while I got a break. I must say Dr. Carroll and Elena were great with him too. If we ever come back to the ER, I will ask for Jackie to be his nurse. I am thankful we have such a caring nurse in the ER.”

 Ephraim McDowell is proud to recognize nurses with the DAISY Award, a national program that honors the compassionate care and clinical excellence that nurses bring to their patients every day.  Nomination forms for the DAISY Award are available at various locations throughout Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center, Ephraim McDowell Fort Logan Hospital, Ephraim McDowell James B. Haggin Hospital and other Ephraim McDowell facilities.
