Janelle Zayas, BSN, RN

I nominate Nurse Janelle for the DAISY Award, a testament to her unmatched compassion and dedication. In the days leading up to my daughter’s bone marrow donation, Janelle was not only thorough in her explanations but also embodied a warmth that eased our anxieties. On the intense 8-hour donation day, she remained unwavering by my daughter’s side. Post-procedure, her compassion extended beyond the hospital walls, with regular texts checking on both my daughter and my son. In every action, Janelle exuded genuine care, turning a daunting experience into a journey filled with hope, comfort, and understanding. If only everyone could demonstrate the dedication and warmth Janelle did, making challenging moments bearable with hope and understanding.
