Dennis receives prestigious nursing award

Bothwell Regional Health Center recently presented its latest DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses to Verena Dennis. The DAISY Award is for patients and their families to nominate nurses who give outstanding, compassionate and skillful care. Dennis is a Registered Nurse and works in the hospital’s Progressive Care Unit (PCU); she was nominated by a patient she cared for during a hospital stay of more than two weeks. “My message today is a thank you for this wonderful nurse that goes out of her way to care for the people she is in charge of,” the patient wrote. “Her attitude and willingness to do what is necessary have been such a blessing. Of all the nurses I have been involved with, she is the most outgoing, willing person I have ever met. My thanks to her for sharing her life with those who need her.” Dennis joined Bothwell in early 2020 as a charge nurse on the hospital’s Medical and Surgical unit on 2 Southwest.
