MIDLAND, Texas — A team of nurses at Midland Memorial Hospital got much-needed recognition on Monday, the Daisy Team Award.
It is a recognition program that not only says thank you to nurses everywhere.
It's also designed to honor the collaboration of team of nurses, as they save many lives one day at a time.
"We spend more time with staff, sometimes with our families, we are a family," said Michelle Meiner, one of the nurses. "The way we work together translates to patient care we give the best patient care we work as a team they get not one nurse but a team of nurses. We do it everyday without recognition so its nice to be able to be recognized but we don't need it to continue doing what we're doing,"
The nurses told NewsWest 9 the one thing that keeps them going is having each other and friendships to ensure all patients are taken care of.
