When I think back on my recovery experience, I'll never forget Shiemol, who cared for me after surgery. From the moment I began waking up from anesthesia, she was so attentive, compassionate, and genuinely present.

She wasn't just performing a job; she was caring in every sense of the word. ||She was incredibly vigilant, making sure I was comfortable and well taken care of as I came out of anesthesia. She also went out of her way to ensure my family was okay, checking in on them, asking if they needed anything, and making sure they felt supported while I was still waking up. That meant so much to all of us.

Usually when I wake up from anesthesia, I cry, and this time was no different. But what touched me deeply was how she responded. As the tears began to fall, she gently wiped them away and kept reassuring me that I was okay. It wasn't just her words; it was the way she said them, with such calm and kindness, that made me feel safe and comforted. |

She even ordered additional medication to make sure I was comfortable enough to go home without pain or distress. Every action she took reflected both her clinical excellence and her compassion.

This nurse truly went above and beyond, not just for me as her patient, but for my family as well. Her attentiveness, empathy, and heart exemplify exactly what the DAISY Award stands for. She is the kind of nurse who leaves a lasting impact, and I'll never forget her.|
