Daisy Awards
McKell Epperson, LPN
“I have now been to the NRMC Walk-In Clinic twice, and both times McKell has been my nurse. Going to the Walk-In Clinic was something that made me nervous. Because of the professionalism and personality of McKell on my first visit, I was willing to try them again. Thank goodness I had her again. She made me totally comfortable, was knowledgeable about what was going on with my shoulder, and (best part) her shots didn’t hurt a bit! I couldn’t feel them! That was a huge deal for me because I am terrified of needles! I am so thankful NRMC Walk-In Clinic has nurses that are well trained and willing to go the extra mile for patients.”
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!
