Cooper University Health Care recognized Jacqueline Engle, RN, Post-Partum Unit, of West Deptford, NJ, and Sean VanBastelaar, RN, Intensive Care Unit, of Doylestown, PA, with The DAISY Award for providing exceptional care.
Jacqueline was nominated by a patient who described her as “friendly, informative and professional” following the birth of her son. The patient said Engle’s comforting words helped her cope after learning her baby was born with Down syndrome.
Sean was recognized by a family for his care of their critically ill mother. They characterized Sean as a compassionate and empathetic caregiver who “not only checked on our mother consistently, but on us as well.”
The DAISY Award, established by The DAISY Foundation™, is an international program that celebrates the extraordinary care given by nurses every day. It is presented in collaboration with the American Organization of Nurse Executives. Each quarter, Cooper honors a nurse with The DAISY Award.
Each winner receives a DAISY Award recipient pin, a Healer’s Touch hand-carved statue, an award certificate and a gift certificate to Cinnabon®. In addition, the selected nurse’s unit receives a banner to post for the quarter.
Anyone—patients, families, and professional colleagues—may nominate a Cooper nurse for The DAISY Award. The DAISY nomination materials are located on nursing units and other public locations throughout Cooper’s Camden Campus and at outpatient offices, as well as online through the Cooper website.
