Lauren Ruffin, RN on 5 West at Baptist Memphis, earned a DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses for her compassionate bedside manner.
Jennifer was nominated by a patient’s family member who said, “Our father was brought in with stroke-like symptoms after having a seizure and couldn’t eat or drink until having a swallow test.” The nominator said Lauren “jumped into action” and made sure the patient was quickly tested and cleared to eat and drink.
“She listened to our needs and instantly acted to help our 84-year-old dad. She went above and beyond! Lauren treated our dad with so much compassion and truly heard us. She had an awesome bedside manner,” said the nominator.
