Every person at this hospital has been outstanding. It made me wonder how Cecelia stood out. Then I read the name of this award, The DAISY Award, for Extraordinary Nurses, and it made sense. Cecelia has an extraordinary presence. Her subtle smile, soft and fluid movement, and calm and serene nature cascaded to me as a patient. I can't remember feeling any pain under her care. She is soft-spoken and so quiet; I was surprised when I awoke at night, and Cecelia was silently adjusting or replenishing the IV machine. I wonder what her internal music sounds like. Thank you Cecelia.
