As a permanent charge nurse 32 hrs a week, Advanced Practice Nurse, Nurse Consultant and formerly Adjunct Professor at URI, Utilization Review Nurse, Manager, and acting Director of Nursing. One wedded to nursing quality, efficiency, excellence, and teamwork. I unequivocally endorse Jackie as a true DAISY Nurse. More specifically she is a template for industry, organization, throughput, patient centricity, brightness, and enthusiasm as well as demonstrating a masterful but appropriate use of humor with both patients and staff alike.

Yale has a practice requirement for all graduate professors. Needless to say, they know the evidence base, the theoretical, and most importantly, the clinical application. In short, they are extremely grounded. She would be a great role model in this vein for RNs cutting their professional teeth. Thank you for allowing us to participate in this award process for this outstanding candidate.
