It is with a heavy heart that we announce the loss of one of our most beloved members, Daytonite.

Daytonite was instrumental in working with the nursing students here at allnurses.com. She was always there for them as well as the seasoned nurse. Her love, however, was teaching those in a nursing program by leading and guiding them here at allnurses.com.

Daytonite had been ill for a while; more seriously in the past 8 months. She passed away on April 8th, 2010.

Our sincere sympathy to the family of Daytonite. If anyone would like to place a condolence, here is the online obituary: JOYCE WAGNER Obituary: View JOYCE WAGNER's Obituary by The Plain Dealer. We think her family would be very touched reading the comments from our allnurses family.

We join you in mourning our friend...

Our fellow colleague...

A nurse above all...

A true advocate for the patient...

A teacher who gave of her heart for all who aspired to be a nurse.

Goodbye, Daytonite. You will be truly missed.

With Love,

All the allnurses.com staff

I had noticed that she hadn't posted in quite a while. She will be sorely missed here. Daytonite had a lot of experience to draw from and even though I didn't always agree with her viewpoint, she had my respect because she put her money where her mouth was, always. Her contribution to nursing was immeasurable.

i cried out when i read this.

more than a teacher, more than an advocate, more than an outstanding nurse...

daytonite inspired all of us, and taught us that one's love of nursing and determination to succeed, would only result in all of us, aspiring to and maintaing the highest standards of care for our pts.

she gave us so very much, and we've all become richer because of her.

daytonite, you will be profoundly missed.

may your legacy live eternally.
