Lyndsay Martinelli, MSN, RN, CPN
The quarterly Nationwide Children’s Hospital Daisy Award was presented to Lyndsay Martinelli, MSN, RN, CPN, of H9A. The Daisy Award is given in appreciation of the important difference our nurses make in the lives of our patients and families at Nationwide Children’s.
Says Lyndsay’s nominator, a parent of a patient: “My son was transferred to Nationwide Children's Hospital while my family visited Ohio during spring break. I was terrified and alone with my husband being deployed across the world. Lyndsay provided my son with phenomenal care, comfort and gentle expertise as the only person on the floor to successfully place an IV. Most notably, she worked directly with the Red Cross Emergency to coordinate an immediate extraction and return home for my deployed husband so he could be present for our son's procedures. I'm extremely grateful for the lengths she went to ensure our visit was the smoothest it could possibly be. If ‘above and beyond’ is a person, it is Lyndsay.”
Nationwide Children’s has once again received the highest achievement in nursing excellence.
The American Nurses Credentialing Center’s (ANCC) Magnet Recognition Program® for excellence in nursing services has granted Nationwide Children’s Hospital ANCC Magnet Recognition® for a fifth time.
This prestigious recognition is the ultimate benchmark in nursing excellence and is awarded to only about eight percent of the nation’s more than 6,000 hospitals across the country. Of that number, only one percent has achieved designation five or more times.
Nationwide Children’s was the first freestanding pediatric hospital in Ohio to achieve Magnet™ status in 2005 and this latest designation will stand until 2024.
