We're celebrating each of our recent DAISY Award nominees. First up: Darrin Buchholtz, RN.Throughout his 10-year nursing career, Darrin has made a lasting impact on the lives of patients and families. When people describe him, words like compassionate, dedicated, and clinically skilled are often the first to come to mind. As he prepares for retirement, we're proud to recognize him as a DAISY Award nominee and celebrate his remarkable story.You see, nursing wasn't Darrin's first career. It wasn't until he lost a job he once believed was his calling that he began exploring new opportunities."In every survey I took, the health care field kept coming up as a great fit for me, but honestly, it wasn't something I had ever considered," said Darrin. "After a few weeks of class, it was apparent this is where I was meant to be."The nominations submitted on Darrin's behalf speak volumes about the care he provides. Patients and families shared stories of his determination to find answers, ease pain, and provide comfort during some of their most difficult moments. From identifying solutions when others were stumped to offering hands-on care and unwavering support at the bedside, Darrin exemplifies what nursing is all about.Thank you, Darrin, for a decade of compassionate care, countless lives touched, and the legacy you leave behind. It seems you found exactly where you were meant to be. Congratulations on your DAISY Award nomination, and best wishes on your retirement! ... See MoreSee Less
