What sets her apart is her genuine interest in the individuals under her care. She not only remembers their medical history but also takes the time to know them personally.
Each session with her feels like spending time with a dear friend, creating a light-hearted and fun-filled atmosphere. This unique bond formed during our interactions helps alleviate the anxiety I feel when receiving my anti-cancer medications. Knowing that she is present assures me that I will receive the right drug, in the correct dosage, and administered properly.

She truly embodies the qualities of an exceptional nurse. Her competence and compassion shine through in every aspect of her work. Her impeccable bedside manner puts both patients and their families at ease, while her nursing skills are unparalleled. She not only cares for the patients but also takes the time to educate and empower them. She patiently explained procedures and results to my mother, who is the patient in the unit.

In addition to her patient care responsibilities, she is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of nurses. She takes it upon herself to teach and guide junior nurses, fearlessly sharing her knowledge and expertise. Her commitment to her profession knows no bounds, as she consistently goes the extra mile to ensure the well-being and comfort of her patients.

What sets her apart is her genuine interest in the individuals under her care. She not only remembers their medical history but also takes the time to know them personally. When she asked for my name, it made me feel valued and important as a person, not just a patient.

During a particularly challenging time when my mother received a disappointing lab result, She was quick to provide explanations, offering support and encouragement. Her ability to communicate complex information in a clear and compassionate manner is truly commendable.

Furthermore, she actively addresses concerns raised by patients and their families. When we expressed dissatisfaction with the air conditioning and the quality of meals served, she promptly coordinated with the relevant departments. Thanks to her efforts, our concerns were heard, and the necessary improvements were made.

It is an absolute privilege to nominate her for the prestigious DAISY Award. Her exceptional skills, unwavering dedication, and genuine care for her patients make her truly deserving of this recognition.
