As a charge nurse, I have had the privilege of working closely with Dawn over the past few years. During that time, I consistently observed her exceptional leadership skills and unwavering dedication to both her team and our patients. Dawn's ability to effectively manage and support our nursing staff has been instrumental in creating a positive and productive work environment. She is always approachable and willing to listen to concerns or suggestions, fostering open communication and collaboration within the team. Her commitment to patient care is evident through her proactive approach to problem-solving and her willingness to step in and assist whenever needed. She ensures that the highest standards of care are maintained, and her attention to detail helps us to continuously improve our practices.

Dawn has a natural ability to remain calm and composed under pressure, which sets a reassuring tone for the entire team, especially during challenging situations. Her mentorship and guidance have been invaluable, helping many of us to grow professionally and deliver our best every day. For these reasons and more, I believe Dawn is a wonderful candidate for the DAISY Award. Her dedication, leadership, and compassionate care have had a profound impact on our team and our patients, and it is an honor to work alongside her.
