We are proud to recognize our most recent DAISY Award recipient, Yashica “Shica” Kinloch, RN, Labor & Delivery 💛
Shica was nominated by a patient who met her during one of the most frightening moments of her life—just six days postpartum, facing dangerously high blood pressure and overwhelming fear. In the midst of uncertainty, Shica brought not only clinical expertise, but calm, compassion, and reassurance.
From carefully explaining treatments and medications, to offering steady comfort with simple but powerful words—“You don’t need to worry until I worry, and I’m not worried”—Shica created a sense of safety when it was needed most. She went above and beyond in every detail: anticipating needs, preserving dignity, providing constant communication, and ensuring her patient never felt alone or out of the loop.
Even after her shift ended, Shica returned to check in and offer guidance for a safe recovery at home—an act that left a lasting impact well beyond the hospital stay.
More than a year later, this patient still carries deep gratitude for the care she received—proof of the extraordinary difference Shica makes every day.
✨ “She should be the shining example of what a nurse should be… an angel on Earth.” ✨
Please join us in congratulating Shica on this well-deserved recognition. Thank you for embodying the true spirit of nursing and for making a lasting difference in the lives of your patients.
