Victoria Perez has been an amazing nurse to my daughter. The way she cared and took care of her like she was her own daughter. Vicky changed our lives completely. The love and support she gave us was amazing. She made us feel comfortable and loved. Vicky has an amazing heart and she has been a motivation for me to become a nurse. She's a "hero" and an angel that we will never forget. She deserves this and more. She's part of my family and so we're grateful to have her as a nurse.
*****
Victoria is a unique individual. On the outside, she is an extremely fun-loving and easy going person but on the inside, this nurse is a warrior. She is goal-driven and extremely focused. Victoria is fully aware that for most patients and their families she will have a short period of time to nurture, teach, and to prepare them for the next phase in their journey.
This family expressed heartfelt gratitude for one individual, who despite a thousand tasks that were required of her, took the time to recognize that although they were not the patient, they too were in need of care. An individual, who despite the challenges faced, held their hands and provided guidance through the process. And finally, an individual who articulated so beautifully that just as she had changed their lives, her life was forever changed by their beautiful daughter and the love that she witnessed from their family.
Congratulations Victoria on receiving the DAISY Award!
