I would like to nominate Professor Harris for the DAISY Award for her exceptional dedication and care to her students in the nursing program. Professor Harris goes above and beyond to ensure that her students are not only learning the necessary skills to excel in their careers but also providing emotional support and guidance. She takes the time to get to know each of her students on a personal level, showing genuine interest in their well-being and success. One particular instance that stands out to me is when I was struggling with a challenging class rotation. Professor Harris noticed my frustration and took the time to sit down with me, offering words of encouragement and practical advice on how to improve. Her support and reassurance gave me the confidence I needed to push through and succeed in that rotation. Professor Harris truly embodies the qualities of a compassionate and dedicated nursing instructor, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from her. She has made a lasting impact on my education and future career as a nurse, and for that, I believe she deserves the recognition and honor of the DAISY Award.
