Summer began her nursing career as a nurse extern and then progressed to a registered nurse working in the progressive care unit. Since the beginning, Summer received numerous accolades from both patients and co-workers for her kind, compassionate delivery of care.

As one staff member stated: "Summer is an exceptional nurse who I have witnessed go above and beyond for her patients. She is always attending to their every need and going the extra mile, helping out in service to those who need her. She also reaches out to her co-workers to help without or before being asked. She is selfless and caring and has the best heart. Summer is a true DAISY."
