September 2025 DAISY Award Recipient

Allison Pineda, RN

 

Allison Pineda, RN, BSN, Labor & Delivery 
DAISY Award – September 2025

Allison joined San Antonio almost five years ago as an experienced labor and delivery nurse with strong clinical skills.  She now serves as one of our primary charge nurses and preceptors, passing on her knowledge to other nurses.  One of Allison’s greatest strengths is continually bringing forth suggestions to make our patients’ care experience even better.  She was nominated by a patient who came to the hospital in labor and later shared, “Allison immediately made me feel seen and taken care of.  She advocated for me to be admitted.  She told me she was treating me as if I were her sister in labor, and I truly felt that in the way she cared for me.  Allison is a big part of the reason I had such a great birth experience. I think about her often and am so grateful for the effort and love she puts into her care.  I cannot say enough about the human and nurse she is.  I am forever grateful.” 

Well done, Allison!
