I am happy to nominate a nurse who truly epitomizes the spirit of the DAISY Award within our ambulatory care setting. Alyssa consistently demonstrates compassion, clinical excellence, and a deep commitment to patient-centered care. Whether it's offering a reassuring word, taking extra time to educate a patient, or supporting colleagues with grace and professionalism, she goes above and beyond every single day. Alyssa is not only a trusted caregiver but also a source of positivity and strength for both patients and staff alike. Their dedication reflects the highest standards of nursing.

Alyssa stepped up to care for a patient with a PICC line that required weekly monitoring and dressing changes- a task that falls outside of her usual responsibilities. Without hesitation, she took on the challenge with pride and a calm confidence that immediately put the patient and their family at ease. Her attentiveness, gentle approach, and clear communication helped the family feel supported and reassured throughout the process. Every time they visited, they expressed their gratitude, often leaving with smiles and peace of mind. Her willingness to go above and beyond, even outside her typical scope, is a true reflection of her dedication, adaptability, and heart for nursing. She embodies everything the DAISY Award represents.
