“Michelle is the very portrait of a DAISY candidate. When looking at the nomination criteria, Michelle excels in just about every area mentioned,” one nomination read. “Her excellent care and vast knowledge of the facility, community, and her field make her an invaluable resource, not only to our patients but to her colleagues as well. Her professionalism shines through and makes her a natural leader on the unit. She is the “go-to” for many of her colleagues. When in doubt, “ask Michelle.” She recently won the most impactful safety catch award for her attention to detail and for catching an allergy situation with a patient’s meal tray. She is in tune with the needs of our patients and is often the reason they leave so happy. She is an overall awesome nurse and individual.”
