Nursing takes a lot of patience, skill, hard work and passion - for anyone. Ms. Julita was not only the best nurse I've ever had; she was the most loving. I felt like I was the daisy in this situation. She poured nutrients and positivity and encouraged my growth. She guided me through a miserable sickness and into recovery. A more loving, big hearted and compassionate nurse doesn't exist. Ms. Julita was a daisy in my life and my heart would swell with pride to know she'll be recognized for it.

In only 1 day I felt so much better and I was ready to be discharged. I've met nice nurses. I've met caring nurses. Ms. Julita treated me like I was one of hers, and thank you just isn't enough for that quality of care. Please celebrate this quality, as someone who's chronically ill, Ms. Julita with her heart of gold isn't a pushover either. She really cares about the safety and recovery of her patients.

I love you, Ms. Julita! (My daisy)
