Honestly, I’m not entirely sure how to put into words how amazing Nurse Ryan was for my grandfather and entire family. I wholeheartedly recommend Nurse Ryan P. for the DAISY Award for his extraordinary care and dedication while taking care of my grandfather.

During an incredibly challenging time for our family, Ryan provided not only exceptional medical care but also immense emotional support to all of us. He is truly one of the best people that I have ever met. From the moment he began caring for my grandfather, it was clear that Ryan saw beyond the patient and recognized the person. He took the time to understand my grandfather's needs, preferences, and personality, ensuring his comfort and dignity were always prioritized. His medical expertise was evident in the attentive and thorough care he provided, but it was his compassion and empathy that truly set him apart.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Ryan's care was his ability to connect with our family. My grandmother, in particular, was struggling to come to terms with the situation. Ryan showed incredible sensitivity and patience, guiding her through her fears and uncertainties in a gentle and compassionate manner that was exactly what she needed. When I privately asked him to be straightforward with me, he communicated directly and candidly about my grandfather's condition. His honest approach, though difficult to hear, was exactly what I needed to prepare myself emotionally. Throughout that conversation, his compassion shone through in the best possible way, making me feel seen, respected, and supported. Honestly, I tear up thinking about it. Ryan treated us like family, always taking the time to check on our well-being and offering a kind word or a listening ear when we needed it most.

Every time he came in the room, he first addressed my grandfather’s needs, then asked everyone else in the room if we wanted anything, making sure to make eye contact with each of us. His ability to balance professional excellence with personal warmth made an immeasurable difference in our experience. His presence was a beacon of stability and kindness in a time of great uncertainty and stress. In every interaction, Ryan demonstrated remarkable compassion, integrity, dedication, and a profound sense of duty. He went above and beyond in his role, not just providing exceptional medical care but also truly supporting my grandfather and all of us who love him. His efforts have left a lasting impact on our family. I am sure that we will reflect on his exceptional care for years to come. We will always be grateful for the outstanding support he provided our entire family during this difficult period. It is with the utmost respect and admiration that I recommend Ryan for the DAISY Award. He exemplifies the highest standards of nursing care and compassion.
