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.
I was worried since I hadn't seen much from her lately, and knew she had been dealing with some health issues. Her posts were invaluable to me while I was a student. Sad thing to read...
I too benefited from "Daytonite's" advice and think it should be part of allnurses forever - so the idea of a stickey with Joyce's words is a great idea.
I am so shocked to hear about this! She has impressed me with all her knowledge and I could always count on her to help me out with difficult case studies and other homework problems. She is really going to be missed.
OMG....I entered the an.com world and was not welcomed by many....except for daytonite. I found all the old posts and read them over a 3 day weekend...full of advice and often in nursing school I would think (WWDS- What will Daytonite say?)....
I was just reading her critical thinking flowsheet a couple of days ago and marveled at how she spoke with such authority. I'm sorry that allnurses have lost someone so loved and I wish I had had a chance to engage her for my own upcoming journey into Nursing School.
I have to say hands down...she had the best posts....she was the reason I kept refering to this site... and although I did not know her personally, I am sad ... My condolences to her family..if they read this...I want you to know that I really enjoyed all that she shared with us on allnurses.com...
I too am sorry to hear this. Sometimes when I don't know the answer to something rather than start a new thread I use the search function. Her name comes up so often with good advice. Her good advice will live on through All Nurses.
