Mason Pittman, RN
Mason Pittman, RN, provided exceptional compassion and attentiveness while caring for a Med/Surg patient during a difficult hospitalization. Though newly graduated, Mason demonstrated remarkable professionalism, patience, and empathy, taking time to truly listen and ensure both the patient and spouse felt supported and valued. He consistently went above and beyond, including personally assisting with the patient’s transfer to rehabilitation. During an emotional and challenging time for the family, Mason’s kindness and genuine care made a lasting impact, embodying the spirit of extraordinary nursing and making him a truly deserving candidate for The DAISY Award.
The DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Award is an international recognition program that honors and celebrates the skillful, compassionate care nurses provide every day.
The DAISY Foundation was established by the family of J. Patrick Barnes after he died from complications of the autoFimmune disease ITP in 1999. During his hospitalization, they deeply appreciated the care and compassion shown to Patrick and his entire family. When he died, they felt compelled to say “thank you” to nurses in a very public way. Please say thank you by sharing your story of how a nurse made a difference you will never forget!
