I am proud to nominate Nathalie Torres for the DAISY Award for an Extraordinary Nursing Student because she consistently demonstrates compassion, initiative, and an unwavering commitment to patient-centered care.

During clinical rotations, Nathalie went far above and beyond what is expected of a student nurse. She never hesitated to step in and provide hands-on care, including assisting with tasks such as cleaning patients when CNAs were unavailable, ensuring every patient was treated with dignity and respect.

Nathalie deserves to be nominated for the DAISY Award because she consistently goes above and beyond for both her patients and her classmates. During clinicals, she was always the one stepping in to help others, making sure everyone felt supported and never left behind. She didn’t hesitate to take on any task, no matter how small or demanding, and always did it with a positive attitude.

With patients, Nathalie showed true compassion and dedication. She provided complete care, never shying away from hands-on tasks, and made sure each patient felt comfortable, seen, and heard. Whether it was helping with hygiene, taking extra time to connect, or even doing something as personal as cutting a patient’s hair, she made a real difference in their experience. Her kindness, work ethic, and genuine care for others truly reflect what the DAISY Award stands for, and she is more than deserving of this recognition.

Nathalie is always willing to help her patients beyond the medical; in one instance, she even gave her patient a haircut at their request due to the hair being so matted. She is a team player and would help any one of us if we needed extra hands.
