Daytonite has passed away...

[Brian]

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 do not know you and yet you touched my life. You touched so many lives by giving of yourself. As we continue to praise your good deeds while here on earth, may the Angels guide and guard you across the beautiful river to God's bossom. Rest eternal friend.

I too just finished my finals and first year of the nursing program and was very sad to hear this. She has been a mentor to many nursing students and her posts were very insightful. She will be missed from all allnurses members. I will pray for her family to find peace in this loss.

This is a bit late, but I want to say that "Daytonite" was a great member of this forum. I always looked forward to her posts. I know she is in a better place. Condolences to her family.

wow. her posts were amazing. I did not get to really converse with her but the knowledge she gave on these boards was just so inspiring and wonderful. My sympathy and condolences go out to the family.

oh, what a truly sad surprise. as a graduating nursing student i have counted on her posts to explain and teach so many different topics, and even if i wasn't looking for anything in particular if i saw her name i knew i would be interested and informed. what a genuine loss for all of us! God certainly blessed us with her generosity, may He continue to bless all those she left behind with His peace and comfort.

I am so sad to hear this news. May god give her the family the strength to deal with the loss.

So sad to hear this. She was instrumental in helping so many of us nursing students survive and navigate the treacherous road of nursing school. She gave wonderful insight into the critical thinking ways that a seasoned nurse develops over time. More than once she gave me another way to look at a situation. I celebrate her life and send prayers to her family. :redpinkhe

oh my!!! I can't believe this! I loved Daytonite's posts. She was so inspiring, so intelligent, and gave great advice and helped so many of us out. I had no idea that she was sick. I hate that...but I believe she will go to a special place. My condolences to all her family and friends. I'm still in shock.

Hi Everyone,

Even though I never physically met Daytonite, her help and support on Allnurses made you feel like you knew her.

I wanted to express my thanks to her and extend my deepest sympathy to her family and friends by making this graphic.

Trust me, I'm no graphic expert, but I do enjoy trying in my spare time...smile!

(I'll stick to Nursing though!)

Anyway, rest in peace Daytonite, you will be greatly missed.
