Ada Ledesma, RN

I was blessed to have Ada as my nurse, and she demonstrated the kind of compassion and dedication that deserves the highest recognition. Ada never ignored a call button, not once. No matter how busy things were, she always came to my room promptly, with a warm smile that instantly made me feel cared for and safe.

One moment that stood out to me was when she noticed I needed help with my socks pre-surgery. While another nurse had simply handed them to me, Ada knelt down to ensure they were on properly, without hesitation or rush. It was such a small act of kindness, but it spoke volumes about the type of nurse she is. One who treats every patient with dignity, respect, and genuine care.

Ada always made sure I understood everything about my recovery. She was efficient and attentive, working tirelessly to keep me comfortable and informed, all while showing me so much compassion.

Ada didn’t just meet my needs, but she anticipated them, and she did it all with grace, kindness, and a smile. She truly embodies the spirit of the DAISY Award and made a lasting impact on my healing journey.
