Cynthia Titus, RN, was honored with the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses at Sarah Bush Lincoln on August 30.
Titus was nominated by a coworker for always going above and beyond to provide exceptional care to her patients. Her nominator wrote:
“Cynthia has clearly established herself as an invaluable member of the Sarah Bush Lincoln team.  While I could mention multiple occasions of her going above and beyond, these two examples really stick out:
Cynthia voluntarily stayed late and missed her grandchild’s t-ball game to assist a patient with discharge plans. She worked long and hard to ensure that the patient had access to her discharge medications (including obtaining approval for her anticoagulation) and that all home health arrangements were confirmed.
On another occasion, Cynthia didn’t hesitate to help an uninsured patient obtain much needed medication. She contacted the drug manufacturer and was able to successfully arrange for that patient to receive Linezolid (which is extremely expensive) at very little cost. Her efforts resulted in a vulnerable patient receiving necessary medical care that would have otherwise been impossible.      Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
