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.
It's going to be so somber around here for a long time to come.
Thank you Daytonite for all of the numerous times you inadvertently helped me and you never even met me. You will be sadly missed and these forums will never be the same without you....
I found myself in disbelief today when I read that Daytonite has passed away. Often times I would post threads hoping with fingers crossed that she would reply. And she never let me down. My condolences to her family and friends. And to you Daytonite wherever you are, thank you so much for spending time and helping me through this tough process that is nursing school.
I was just thinking this morning that it's been a while since Daytonite has posted. She was an incredible resource to so many nurses and nursing students through her participation here.
She leaves some big shoes to fill and will be sorely missed.
She was truly kind, intelligent and I always looked forward to her advice. To her friends and family, I am sorry for your loss! She was special!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joyce "Daytonite" was one of the people who cared for nursing students, without passing judgments about their competence or the lack of it, in spite of their repetitive questions. We've been missing her for a while now. Sorry to know of her passing. If she was so good to perfect strangers, she must've been even better with her family. Her family must miss her more than we can imagine. My sincere condolences to all her loved ones.
I'm so sorry to hear of Daytonite's passing- I did not realize she was ill. I was stumped on an acid-base balance problem, so I thought I'd log on and send her my question. I had no idea that she passed away, or even that she was ill. I will miss her valuable input. Condolences to her family.
I just graduated from nursing school and used this site over and over again. Whenever I had a guestion... Daytonight always popped up... Thanks for the help Daytonight! Your memory and knowledge will live on for a long long time! :redbeathe
