John C., RN

We are thrilled to spotlight John C., RN, Merritt 3 Surgical, our latest DAISY Award recipient and a shining example of nursing excellence at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center. 
 
John's unique touch in patient care is evident in the way he pays attention to the values and beliefs of his patients and their families. For instance, when a patient needed a procedure over a tense weekend, John's efforts to keep the family informed while advocating for the best possible care were professional and comforting.
 
John's ability to quickly build trust is extraordinary. His courteous and respectful approach combined with his soft-spoken and calming presence has a way of putting everyone at ease, even in the most stressful or emergent situations. His integrity shines through every day. Punctual, positive, and committed, he delivers on his promises without fail.
 
John keeps a firm commitment to evidence-based practice, always staying updated with current guidelines and diligently attending trainings. His commitment to excellence aligns perfectly with the mission and vision of our medical center, making him a valuable asset to our community and healthcare team. In the nursing world, John's actions redefine what "above and beyond" means. His balance of professional wisdom and compassionate care sets a standard we all aspire to meet.
