Myranda had NINE DAISY Nominations for the year 2023. 

Reading through her nominations, there was a common theme: compassion, humor & knowledge.  However, not only was Myranda nominated by her patients, but she was also nominated by her floor manager, who sums up exactly what the nominations stated. Melissa wrote the following: 

Myranda is one of our top clinical performers on the Progressive Floor. Myranda spends quality time with her patients, carefully explaining everything that is happening to them and earning their trust through her care. Myranda is an active member of our Unit Based Council and has participated in educational videos for our community explaining what patients and families may encounter in the hospital. She is currently collaborating with an ICU nurse on educational videos for nurses to improve the report process. Myranda was PCU’s first Flame of Excellence award winner, which is an award given for clinical excellence based on peer nominations. When you look at the nursing role as a whole, between being a patient advocate, a family resource, serving on committees, providing community education, and serving as an outstanding preceptor and source of knowledge for other nurses, Myranda exemplifies nursing excellence and is a true DAISY Nurse. 

Following what one of her patients stated, I think everyone who knows Myranda can agree that for such a small package, she is a GIANT of a nurse. Congratulations Myranda on such a well-deserved award!
