Daisy was my discharge nurse following an emergency C-section for pre-eclampsia. I was tired, overwhelmed, and very nervous about discharge with my history of previous preeclampsia post-partum. Daisy helped me advocate for myself with the primary team to have my concerns heard. She went out of her way through multiple calls to make sure that I felt heard.

Fast forward 3 days, and I was readmitted to the hospital for severe pre-eclampsia, and I was upset and felt very defeated and helpless. Daisy again was my morning nurse after admission. She knew by my face that I was frustrated and spent time listening to me vent, shed tears, and ultimately decompress enough to calm down and let the meds do their work. She problem-solved issues with my 6-day-old infant and again went to bat for me at a time when I was feeling the most vulnerable. I am a fellow nurse, and I am absolutely proud that she is in this profession. She really helped me in ways that she will never understand. Her compassion will be forever appreciated.
