Daytonite has passed away...

613 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
So sorry. I noticed there had been no postings for a while, but it never entered my mind that the problem was so serious. She will be missed sorely on this site, that much I know. God Bless friend.

I always looked forward to reading her posts. This saddens me greatly. My condolences to her family.

This just makes me so so sad. She was an incredible voice for us students and will continue to be via this site. I am so so sorry for all of us.

Oh, I will miss seeing her posts... May she rest in peace. My condolences to all her family and friends. This board will not be the same...

This was so shocking to see. She was such a great help to us students.

She was such a great support. She will be missed, but she lives on in all the students she supported on this site - including me.

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.

Oh, my. So sad. She will be greatly missed by so many people.

I learned so much from her. She will be missed.

Thoughts and prayers.

I will truly miss daytonite. She was one of the most smartest nurse on this site and was very helpful to me when I was a student. I remember posting threads starting with Help!- and she was always one of the first to reply. I also thought that she never slept because she would help us students out any time of the day. Im going to miss her sooooo much, and I send my prayers of comfort to her family.
