Four patients nominated Amanda for the DAISY Award. The nominations are as follows: "Phenomenal - amazing - without Amanda I would have walked out days before supposed to and thankful I didn't. I feel great today and ready for a new lifestyle for 50 more years."

"Amanda dealt with all my ups and downs. Amanda made me feel safe when I was scared when in so much pain. She is caring and compassionate. I am grateful and blessed by Amanda. Thank you is an understatement. God bless this nurse forever and always. She saved my life."

"First you have an extraordinary staff. However, Amanda went above and beyond to assist me, even when I was being difficult for the most part. I am easy to get along with. Unfortunately for Amanda, she got the worst part of me that I didn't recognize. Amanda showed me the patience of a saint and total compassion. I know I face some health challenges ahead of me and wish I could have Amanda through every step. Amanda is a remarkable person who deserves to be honored and appreciated. I am thankful for Amanda, and I wanted her to know. I hope we meet again."

"Amanda has gone above and beyond to help me while I am in the hospital. She is always cheerful and has a smile every time she walks into the room. I have been here for three days and all three days Amanda has been my day nurse. Anything I have needed or asked for, Amanda has been prompt and always helpful. Amanda is very knowledgeable and skilled. She answered all questions as honestly as she could, not always giving me the answer I wanted. I enjoyed all my interactions with Amanda, really enjoying the visits to my room. Amanda made me feel like I was special."
