My husband had small cell pancreatic cancer that spread to his spine and into his bones. He was in an extreme amount of pain.  Shaylee was so compassionate and caring when she had to move him knowing how much pain he was in. She kept telling him how sorry she was. A night before I went home, she reassured me that she would call if there was any change in his condition. Before she went home she called to let me know he was resting comfortably. That night, I thanked God for his comfort for my husband and for the compassion that Shaylee had for him. (He passed away 2 days later).

I am honored to recognize Shaylee for her exceptional care and unwavering compassion during my husband's courageous battle with cancer. Her dedication went beyond medical expertise; she provided comfort, kindness, and support that eased the burden for both my husband and our family.  In the face of adversity, Shaylee demonstrated the true essence of nursing by being a source of strength and empathy. Her commitment to delivering not only medical care but also genuine human connection made a profound impact during this difficult journey. 

I wholeheartedly believe that Shaylee is a DAISY Nurse for her outstanding contributions to patient care and the compassionate approach she brought to our lives.
