Lani recognizes everyone’s unique and individual strengths and frequently encourages and motivates, making everyone who works with her feel special. She is the glue of the unit, honest, transparent, dependable, and eager to learn. Prioritizing staff and patient well-being, Lani advocates using excellent communication skills and shows compassion to all; colleagues feel so lucky to work beside Lani.

Lani was nominated by several staff, her manager, and a patient.

As one of Lani's nursing colleagues who loves working with her, this DAISY Coordinator can attest that her presence motivated me to go to work when I was suffering from my own autoimmune disease. I was very happy that she was chosen for this award.
