This letter is inspired by an incredibly dedicated and talented Nurse, whom I feel lucky to call my colleague. She constantly exemplifies what a hard-working compassionate nurse looks like. She is a critical asset to our team, whether she is fulfilling her obligations as Manager or helping her team out by taking a patient assignment.

As a Manger, she is extremely understanding, yet effective and has the ability to make the best out of every situation. She leads by example and is always willing to lend a hand regardless of what she has on her own plate. She is a great leader who will always find a way to make sure her unit is covered even if it means taking on extra hours herself. One of her greatest qualities is that she is a fantastic advocate for patients, her direct report staff, and all of her colleagues. She has a way of voicing her opinion that is always in the best interest of others and always fights for what is right. She is incredibly knowledgeable and is an invaluable resource for others. She constantly takes time for teaching moments and always promotes quality patient care. She builds great relationships with patients and their families and is someone that I would fully trust to care for one of my own family members.

In a trying time in healthcare, she gives her all, every single day. She has navigated through challenges with patience and professionalism. She exemplifies the mission of RRH by delivering quality care to patients with kindness, integrity, and respect. She is the definition of nursing excellence and is a true DAISY Nurse.
