I am writing to enthusiastically nominate nurse D'Andra for the DAISY Award in recognition of her exceptional care, compassion, and professionalism during her time caring for my mother at Forbes Hospital. From her admission until her passing three days later, D'Andra's unwavering dedication and extraordinary efforts left an indelible mark on our family, embodying the values of the DAISY Award. 

D'Andra's commitment to providing holistic care to my mother went above and beyond expectations. Not only did she ensure my mother's physical comfort, cleanliness, and medical needs were met with utmost proficiency, but she also extended her compassion and support to my stepfather and me during this emotionally taxing period. Her ability to anticipate our needs and provide comfort and sustenance amidst the turmoil of my mother's condition was truly remarkable and deeply appreciated.

Throughout my mother's stay, D'Andra's communication skills were exemplary. She conveyed medical information with clarity and empathy, fostering trust and understanding between our family and the healthcare team. Her willingness to listen, answer questions, and provide updates played a vital role in easing our anxieties and navigating the complexities of my mother's care.

What distinguishes D'Andra is her unwavering dedication to patient-centered care. She approached her role not merely as a nurse but as a compassionate advocate for my mother's well-being, ensuring her dignity and comfort were preserved at every turn. Her acts of kindness, whether ensuring my stepfather and I were nourished and supported or simply offering a comforting presence, made an immeasurable difference during a time of great distress.

In light of her exceptional dedication, compassion, and professionalism, I believe D'Andra is highly deserving of the DAISY Award. Her commitment to providing exceptional care embodies the spirit of this prestigious honor, and her contributions to our family's well-being will be cherished forever.

Please accept this nomination as a heartfelt testament to Nurse D'Andra's outstanding service and the profound impact she has made on our lives. I am grateful for the opportunity to recognize her exceptional contributions and commend her as a true healthcare hero.
