MONROE — Nicole Timm, RN, a nurse at Monroe Clinic — Brodhead, received the DAISY Award based on a nomination from a fellow nurse. Timm has been a nurse with Monroe Clinic for four years. 

Timm’s award nomination was written by fellow Monroe Clinic nurses Brenda Schooff and Beth Daniels. 

“Nicole is always willing and knowledgeable when it comes to patient teaching and compassion. I know of several times when she has returned calls to patients and encouraged them to come in to ‘just get a hug’ if they’re having a bad day,” said Schooff. 

“Recently, I worked alongside Nicole and a group of amazing Monroe Clinic employees to help save a little boy’s life,” said Daniels. “Nicole was calm the entire time and confident in her skills as a nurse, knowing just what to do and say to calm the father’s nerves. She took charge of the situation, providing leadership to her coworkers and taking instruction from providers, doing precisely what they teach you to do in emergency situations. I couldn’t be more blessed to have her working beside me on our team.” 

Many of Timm’s coworkers, family and friends attended her DAISY Award ceremony at Monroe Clinic — Brodhead. There are more stories of Timm’s extraordinary care, both at work and in the community, that were shared with her family and friends.

The DAISY Award is a nationwide program that celebrates the clinic skill and compassionate care delivered by nurses every day. Nicole is one of three million nurses nationwide who represent the largest healthcare profession. Monroe Clinic employs over 250 nurses serving patients throughout Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois.
