Coffeyville Regional Medical Center is pleased to announce Robyn Tatman as the February 2022 DAISY Honoree. Tatman was recognized for her professionalism and confidence in her role working in Surgery.

“I was recently scheduled for a much-anticipated surgery after enduring a chronic condition for many months. I was very calm and excited to finally getting in, as the procedure is only available once per month. Robyn was extremely welcoming and accommodating through the pre-op process. Unfortunately, as she administered pre-op meds, I had a significant reaction that we later learned was due to a very rare interaction between one of the meds and a maintenance medication I am dependent on to control the panic disorder I have had my entire adult life. Unlike an allergic or anaphylactic reaction, I experienced physical panic and anxiety that took over my entire physical and mental state. Along with the reaction symptoms, I was confused, alarmed, and very embarrassed. Robyn remained completely calm and professional, and also very soothing and reassuring. I could hear her quickly go to my medical record to try to identify which drug created the issue whilst doing everything she could to make m25

e more comfortable. Ultimately, my doctor and I decided to postpone surgery so I would be in a more stable condition. Robyn went above and beyond by kindly checking in on me almost daily for several days after. Robyn demonstrated great nursing for me and showed the best of CRMC greatly impressing my friend who came to care for me post-op, who later said “You definitely wouldn’t find care like that in Wichita.” Kudos and many thanks to Robyn.”

The award is part of the DAISY Foundation’s mission to recognize the extraordinary, compassionate nursing care they provide patients and families every day. This is a nationally recognized award.

The DAISY Foundation is a not-for-profit organization, established in memory of J.

She has helped us change beds/patients, she has gotten our patients warm blankets when they are cold, fresh ice water when needed, and has assisted us in our lab draws and taking blood to the lab.  She is always there with a smile on her face, even when suffering from her own loss recently. She embodies what CRMC means to me, and she is family!”

Coffeyville Regional Medical Center is pleased to announce Carrie Wheeler as the January 2022 DAISY Honoree. Wheeler was recognized Sarah Hoy for her professionalism and confidence in her role working in the Resource Pool.

“Resource Pool can be a tough role to play – you never know which unit you will be assigned to or for how long you will be there before you are re-assigned, sometimes several different places in one shift. One day, Administration received a call from a patient that was so pleased with the experience that he and his friend had here that he wanted to take the time to share it with the CNO. This patient, like so many the past two years, had been diagnosed with COVID and needed an outpatient infusion. He called to share about his pleasant experience at CRMC from the beginning of his search for treatment through his entire care. He reports that he also had a friend with the same need. He was so complimentary of Carrie and her compassion, professionalism, and kindness throughout their time here for the infusion. What makes this extra special to me is that Carrie was assigned this task for one day in a pinch because of patient volume and this patient couldn’t tell that this wasn’t her everyday role. I appreciate Carrie’s willingness to go where the need is and shine bright for our patients. Thank you Carrie – you make a difference!”

Coffeyville Regional Medical Center is pleased to announce Kristen Shaw as the October 2021 BEE Honoree. Shaw, nominated by her fellow coworkers, was recognized for her hard work and helping others.

 “I wanted to take this opportunity to share how impressed I have been with Kristen Shaw. She joined our Primary Care clinic about a year ago. She never says no to anything she is asked to do. She is responsible for our RHC accreditation status for Coffeyville and Independence clinics and also pulls more reports than I know about. Just this week she was asked to cover our front office, triage phone calls, and also cover our referral staff that has been out. She has a great personality and is always willing to help. I would like to nominate her for a Bee Award. ”  – Dr. Shravan Gangula”

Additionally, Shaw received a second BEE nomination: “Kristen has been such an asset to our team. She is always willing to step in and lend a hand anytime it is needed. The clinic was recently in a tough position for covering patient referrals. This was not a task Kristen was familiar with but saw the need. She took time to learn the process and get started. Thanks to her our patient referrals were taken care of. What a huge help to nursing staff who are already overwhelmed. In times such as these, it is a breath of fresh air to see someone willing to accept challenges and work hard. I am thankful for her high energy and positive attitude. She is always good for a laugh.” – Tracey Benson

Coffeyville Regional Medical Center is pleased to announce Jan Woodward as the October 2021 DAISY Honoree. Woodward was recognized for her professionalism and service in her role in the ICU.

“The reason Jan is so exceptional is her dedication towards her patients. Last March, I had a total knee replacement. Two days later, I had a Physical Therapy session. After my Physical Therapy session, I passed out, and a Code E was called. After determining the cause, I was whisked away for a CT scan, then to the ER/ICU Department. Jan was my nurse for my time in the ER/ICU Department. Jan’s devotion and care made for an easier recuperation. She seemed to anticipate my medical and emotional needs. All of my nurses are terrific, but Jan Woodard really boosted my morale. Jan will always be a winner for me.”

She is a fantastic supervisor. We all really appreciate her. She is the best. She never gets mad or loses her temper with us if we ask dumb questions. She is always so cordial with the patients when she deals with them. She always stands behind us and has our backs. She deserves this award so much!”

Additionally, Foster received a second BEE Award: “Tami was hesitant to step into a supervisor role, but she has made an excellent one for this department. She does not hesitate to help in any situation, works extra hours, covers for people when need be. She takes care of her coworkers and stands up for us.

Coffeyville Regional Medical Center is pleased to announce Shana Housel as the September 2021 DAISY Honoree. Housel was recognized for her professionalism and confidence in the ER Department.

“Shana always shows such compassion for her patients. No matter how many patients are in ER, she is always kind and passionate toward her patients. Shana really does care about each one of her patients. Not only have I had the opportunity to see Shana taking care of others but also I have actually been one of her patients when I had a gallbladder attack and had to go to surgery. Shana was fantastic, she made me feel at ease and I knew I was getting the best care possible. Shana is a fantastic nurse with a great attitude, and we are lucky to have her as one of our very own ER nurses.”

Additionally, Housel received a second DAISY nomination: “Shana was working in the ER when we had to bring in our 2-year-old daughter. Shana was so careful and caring with our daughter and did her absolute best to make sure our daughter was taken care of. When we were transferred to St. Francis, I wish we could have taken her with us! I felt very comfortable and confident in the care our daughter was receiving when she was under Shana’s care. She also went out of their way to check on our daughter when we left. The IV they administered was the same IV location that was used the entire 6 days at St. Francis. She received the first and only stick at CRMC. She is a fantastic nurse and especially with small children.”
