DAISY Monday
Nominee Story Highlight
Each Monday, we are sharing a DAISY Award nominee story. Every nomination reflects meaningful, compassionate care that deserves to be recognized.
This nomination was submitted by a patient recognizing Maryann for her kindness and exceptional care.
“Very kind and caring. Helpful with my 11 month old who is exclusively breastfed and had to stay with me. She was absolutely amazing and I wish more nurses were like her.”
These nominee stories remind us that extraordinary nursing is reflected in empathy, flexibility, and the thoughtful support nurses provide to both patients and their families.

DAISY Monday

Each Monday, we share a DAISY Award nominee story. Every nomination reflects meaningful, compassionate care that deserves to be recognized.

This nomination was submitted by a patient recognizing Marci for her exceptional care.

“A swollen and painful wrist and hand had deprived me of sleep for too long, so at 1 a.m. I got dressed and went to the Emergency Department at UCVH. What a relief to see Marci’s familiar face as I came in the door. She very carefully and thoroughly wrote down the history of my problem. She was always friendly and encouraging and very accurately filled the physician in before he came to see me. They worked together on a solution and kept me no longer than necessary. That Marci takes care of her people. Thank you, Marci.”

These nominee stories remind us that extraordinary nursing is reflected in teamwork, attention to detail, and the reassurance of a familiar, caring presence.
