Sarah Cross, LPN, has been recognized with the DAISY Award for her quick action that prompted lifesaving care for a patient at Moore Regional Hospital in Pinehurst.
Susan Taylor, R.N., assistant nurse manager for 3 surgical, said Sarah exemplifies who a DAISY
Award winner should be.
“She advocates for her patients and delivers compassionate care,” Taylor said in a press release. “Sarah goes above and beyond to assist her coworkers and is a true team player. Sarah is a blessing to me and the entire 3 surgical team.”
Cross shared about how she had always wanted to be a nurse ever since she was little.
“Both of my grandmothers were in the healthcare field, which initially sparked my interest,”
Cross recalled in a press release. “As a child, I remember walking around at my grandmother’s house pretending to be her nurse, using her stethoscope and lab coat. Occasionally, I would throw on her glasses to make me feel like a doctor. I thought all doctors had to wear glasses to complete the job.”
Cross said that advocating and providing care for patients and their families during their most
stressful times in their lives is extremely gratifying.
“I take pride in knowing I can be a small light during a dark time,” she said in a press release. “I truly believe it is where God called me to care for his people.”
Cross is honored to be named a DAISY Award winner but modestly said she was just doing her
Job.
“I am surrounded by exceptional nurses everyday who have been my foundation with my nursing
career,” Cross added in a press release. “The DAISY Award is such an amazing and humbling award that touches my heart so deeply. It’s a moment I’ll never forget.”
