Two Army Veterans recommended their fellow military comrade for the DAISY Award. Patricia Belle is a charge nurse and has been with the VA for 29 years. With 30% of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ employees being Veterans, you often hear the phrase, “at the VA, it is Veterans serving Veterans.” Ms. Belle serves as a role model with a loving, positive attitude. She has a vast knowledge of her job and always greets the patients and their families with a smile. She is the perfect example of what a nurse is supposed to be.
