She implemented "goodie bags" to give to patients in the waiting room experiencing delays, providing them with a small snack and word puzzle.
I am honored to nominate this nurse for the DAISY Award for her exceptional dedication to both her patients and her team. She consistently goes above and beyond, stepping in to help whenever and wherever she’s needed, always with a positive attitude that is truly infectious.

Her commitment to providing remarkable patient experiences is evident in her innovative approach. For example, she implemented "goodie bags" to give to patients in the waiting room experiencing delays, providing them with a small snack and word puzzle. This thoughtful gesture has enhanced the overall patient experience and demonstrates her extraordinary compassion.

However, her compassion goes beyond patient care; it includes nurturing the people who provide that care, ensuring they feel respected and cared for in their own right. She considers the needs of her colleagues and proactively makes suggestions to create a more pleasant atmosphere where team members can perform at their best. In challenging situations, she remains optimistic, empowering the team to tackle obstacles together. She is a role model for clinical excellence and teamwork. Her unwavering dedication and joyful spirit make her an invaluable asset to our team and a true advocate for our patients.
