I am proud to nominate Dyamond Couch for the DAISY Award. Her kindness and compassion go far beyond what is expected of a nurse, and I've witnessed a moment that truly exemplifies her extraordinary care. One of our patients, who had been critically ill in the ICU, arrived in Progressive Care unable to care for herself. Her hair had become a tangled, matted mess after days of being bedbound. She was embarrassed and upset, and honestly, it was heartbreaking to see her in that condition. On a busy Sunday night, when Dyamond could have easily moved on to other tasks, she chose to spend hours gently detangling this patient's hair. What was a simple act to most became a deeply personal, emotional experience. Dyamond worked patiently, speaking to the patient with such warmth, sharing stories, and making her laugh. In those moments, Dyamond wasn't just a nurse doing her job; she was a comforting presence, a friend. The patient, who had considered cutting her hair, was so moved by Dyamond's care that she began to tear up when she saw how beautiful her hair looked once it was done. She had feared she'd never feel "like herself" again, but Dyamond helped her feel human again, dignified and loved. I don't think words can fully express how much this small act of kindness meant to this patient. It wasn't just about detangling hair; it was about giving hope, offering comfort, and reminding a vulnerable person that they matter. Dyamond made that patient feel special, like she wasn't just another person on the list, but someone worth going above and beyond for. If that were my family member in that bed, I would feel so incredibly lucky to have a nurse like Dyamond. She didn't just care for this patient in the traditional sense; she truly made a difference in her life. Dyamond gave the perfect example of everything the DAISY Award represents: compassion, selflessness, and love for the people we care for. Thank you for considering Dyamond for this well-deserved recognition. She is a true hero in our field, and I'm proud to call her my coworker.
