Tanya Escure, BSN, RN

Tanya Escure embodies the spirit of the DAISY Award completely. She consistently puts her patients first, even in the most challenging situations and with the most difficult patient populations. She has an incredible ability to recognize when someone simply needs a moment to breathe, regroup, or feel heard, and she creates that space with genuine compassion and dignity. She is an unwavering advocate, never hesitating to call or message busy physicals until her patients receive the care they need.

Tanya's clinical judgment is exceptional- she is highly knowledgeable, anticipates changes in patient conditions, and offers thoughtful, evidence-based recommendations that make her an invaluable member of the healthcare team. Beyond her own patient assignments, she frequently helps lead the units, mentors student nurses, and supports her colleagues while balancing the demands of being a devoted mom at home. Tanya approaches end-of-life care with remarkable grace, ensuring every patient is treated with comfort, respect, and dignity until the very end. She goes above and beyond every single day, caring for the whole person rather than simply treating an illness. She is the nurse every patient hopes to have, and every healthcare team hopes to work alongside.
