For RN Abbie Goodrick, nursing has been a lifelong dream. As a young child Abbie was inspired to pursue nursing while watching her elders take care of her grandmother. “I would always tell them that I would become a nurse, to take care of my family and people that need it.”

It’s for this devoted care that Abbie has received a DAISY Award from the DAISY Foundation. Abbie was nominated by Eileen Jonaitis. “I felt like I was her mother or another family member,” reflects Eileen. “She was kind, listened extremely well, and was always checking on me.”

Says Tori Probst, chief nursing officer and nursing home administrator, “Abbie’s dedication to putting patients first, her constant drive to improve her knowledge and skills, and her unwavering commitment to making every patient feel at ease truly embodies the heart of nursing.”

The DAISY Award is an internationally recognized award honoring nurses who provide above-and-beyond patient care. Abbie speaks to her wholehearted approach: “Everybody wants to feel like they matter. To have that person who really sees you and cares about your well-being. I want to make a difference in someone’s world. Make their day a little bit better, their world a little bit better.”
