Congratulations to Shaton Kelley, RN, of the 3rd Floor Oncology Unit for being awarded the DAISY award for May! The DAISY Award honors and celebrates the compassionate care of extraordinary nurses. Shaton was nominated by one of her patients..."During my stay at Crestwood while being treated for double pneumonia, bladder infection, fungal infection, blood loss, and other various things, I had the distinct pleasure of having Nurse Shaton assigned to me. From the beginning she took over with her big smile and youthful looking ponytail hanging in the back. She treated me with dignity and deftness in all her many tasks she completed over my 8-day period of confinement. She was always cheerful and striving to be happy. I feel she deserves some type of special recognition. She has a deep concern for the sick. She is interested in improving herself with love and knowledge for helping others. She was overall a great person, nurse, and able to do five things at once. God bless you, Shaton, and know we are rooting for you." Thank you, Shaton, for doing an extraordinary job making a difference in our patients' lives! For more information about the DAISY Award, visit https://bit.ly/2WWhQGj
