The day I decided to check myself in due to mental health issues, I was really scared to the point where I was going to cry and freak out again. When I was introduced to Nurse Ann, she made sure I was safe and always said to me, “You are going to be okay, hun. Once the doctor has you on the right medication, you will feel much better. I promise you, don’t worry about anything!”

It's now 2 days since I have been here, and I have learned a lot about my mental health diagnosis. I feel a lot better after getting 12 hours of proper rest and eating full meals to regain my strength. I would love to nominate Nurse Ann for the DAISY Award for all of her kindness and compassion towards me, making sure I am getting all my nutrients and the rest I desperately need after barely sleeping for two days. Ann is the best nurse I've ever had. And due to all the progress of bettering my mental health, the doctor said I am well enough to be discharged tomorrow. I am so excited to go back home and get back to my regular routines. Thank you all, and God bless.

Thank you, Ann, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
