LANSING, MI — McLaren Greater Lansing has announced that a mid-Michigan nurse has been honored with the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. Bret Tingay, RN, is being recognized for providing an extraordinary level of care at the hospital, according to a hospital press release.
Tingay’s nomination for the award read as follows: “Bret is a team player and always brings positivity to the workplace. He collaborates well with other departments and staff to ensure patients get the care they need. He gets great feedback from patients and their families that he provided extraordinary care. Bret always provides patients excellent care even in the most challenging situations.”
The award is part of the DAISY Foundation’s program to recognize the exceptional care nurses provide every day.
Tingay was recently recognized by hospital leadership and coworkers, and received a certificate commending him for being an “Extraordinary Nurse,” and a sculpture called “A Healer’s Touch,” hand-carved by artists of the Shona people in Zimbabwe.
He is a U.S. Navy veteran and started his career as a hospital corpsman assigned to the United States Marine Corps Charlie Company during Desert Shield and Desert Storm. This year, Tingay celebrates 36 years working at McLaren.
“Being able to provide the care I strive for my patients wouldn’t be possible without the wonderful people I work with,” Tingay said in a press release. “I appreciate this recognition; it means a lot to me.”
