Hope Nealy, her name is oh so fitting, as that is what she gave me every day I saw her. Where can I begin? My son was born at 33 weeks and was in the NICU for 10 days. I was blessed enough to have Hope as my son's nurse on two separate occasions. She was kind, respectful, informative, understanding, and sympathetic during the whole time. I felt comfortable asking questions and I felt safe that my son was well taken care of when I left. Hope is such an intelligent nurse who cares deeply for her patients and families. I believe she deserves the DAISY Award because she is such a hardworking and dedicated nurse, a leader, and an example to follow. Thank you for making me feel safe and secure during the scariest time of my life.
