Her ability to provide comfort, reassurance, and understanding to our family made a significant difference in our experience.
I am writing to nominate Hannah for the DAISY Award in recognition of her outstanding dedication and compassion in caring for my uncle during his stay in the ICU. From the moment we arrived, it was evident that she was not only an exceptional nurse but also a beacon of comfort for our family during a very challenging time. Hannah demonstrated remarkable skill and attention to my uncle's medical needs, ensuring he received the best possible care. However, what truly set her apart was her unwavering support for our family, particularly for his wife, who suffers from Alzheimer's. She took the time to explain medical procedures and updates in a way that was clear and compassionate, ensuring that we all felt informed and included in the care process. Her ability to provide comfort, reassurance, and understanding to our family made a significant difference in our experience. In those frightening moments, her presence brought us peace and helped us navigate the uncertainty we faced. She went above and beyond her duties, treating us not just as family members of a patient but as individuals in need of support and kindness. Hannah exemplifies the qualities of empathy, professionalism, and dedication that this award seeks to honor. Her exceptional care and the personal touch she provided will always be remembered by our family.
