It is with great admiration and gratitude that I nominate Michelle for the DAISY Award. Michelle exemplifies what it means to be a truly compassionate and dedicated nurse. Her care goes far beyond the expected—she consistently shows up for her patients and colleagues in ways that make a lasting impact. Michelle never lets anyone go without a shower, even if it means getting in there and helping herself. She treats each patient with dignity and respect, taking the time to brush and floss their teeth, ensuring they feel clean, cared for, and valued. She understands how these small but important acts contribute to a patient’s overall well-being and sense of self-worth. What sets Michelle apart is her unwavering encouragement. She inspires patients daily to keep moving, keep trying, and to keep fighting for their independence. Her belief in their potential fuels their motivation and recovery. Michelle also lifts her team. She speaks to every staff member with kindness and respect, always advocating for their growth. She's a firm believer in continuing education and often encourages others to return to school, reminding them of their potential and the difference they can make. Her passion for nursing is contagious, and her presence is a source of inspiration to those around her. Michelle is more than just a nurse—she is a role model, a motivator, and a true caregiver. Her dedication, compassion, and leadership make her more than deserving of the DAISY Award. She is a super nurse in every sense of the word.
