Kieley Hicks was nominated by a fellow student from the Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation, who stated that Kieley was born to be a nurse. Kieley is one of the few people who leaves all biases at the door before caring for someone. Not only does Kieley advocate for her patients, but Kieley advocates for her peers and nurses to take care of themselves in order to better care for others. Kieley's compassion is unlimited and her service extends all known bounds.
