As a charge nurse, Missy does so much more than manage a unit—she is the heart of it. She consistently goes above and beyond for her staff, stepping in wherever she’s needed, whether that means helping with patient care, offering guidance during a tough shift, or simply being a supportive voice when things feel overwhelming.

Missy has a gift for balancing leadership with compassion. She advocates fiercely for both patients and her team, ensuring everyone feels heard and supported. No matter how busy the day gets, she never hesitates to check in on her staff, lend a helping hand, or offer encouragement. Her presence makes the unit feel not only more organized but also more positive and uplifting.

What sets Missy apart is that she leads by example. She demonstrates every day what it means to be a nurse who cares deeply—not only about patients, but about the people she works alongside. Her dedication, kindness, and unwavering support make an incredible difference for staff and patients alike.

Missy truly embodies the spirit of the DAISY Award.
