July 2024 Daisy Award Honoree – Briana Cuevas, RN

“Briana went out of her way to care for me for four days while I was in ICU for a brain bleed. She would tend to my needs to make sure I was bathed and even one day when I didn’t feel like I wanted to be bathed, came in with her towels and encouraged me to clean up. She helped me wash my hair but then braided it for me. It did make me feel so much better as I still was faced with some uncertainty with the direction of my treatment and care. She even shared her pistachio nuts when I needed something to eat after I came back from my angiogram and was recovering from the angiogram. She has compassion and tenderness and understands the difficult part of working in ICU and the uncertainty patients work through.

As I waited for treatment and or test results or doctors to come and have conversations with my husband and myself, she kept encouraging me. She checked on me frequently even though she was just in the next room she made sure that my room was tidy and was courteous and respectful when I was doing the sponge bath. Her kindness and compassion was impeccable and deserves to be recognized for what she did to help me work through my difficult challenges I was facing. I’ve never had a nurse so caring and concerned about my well being. She treated the whole person.”
