With great admiration and gratitude, I nominate Andrea for the DAISY Award. Andrea embodies the essence of compassionate, patient-centered care, always greeting her patients warmly and treating them like family. One recent example truly highlights her extraordinary dedication. A young veteran had just completed 16 grueling chemotherapy treatments, a milestone that deserved recognition. Andrea took it upon herself to make the moment memorable. She arranged a heartfelt celebration, ensuring the bell-ringing tradition was more than just a routine- a powerful, emotional experience. Andrea went above and beyond, securing a certificate of completion, which she had signed by fellow nurses with personal, uplifting messages. She even got the patient a sweatshirt, a thoughtful gesture that spoke volumes about her kindness. Knowing this moment's importance, she invited his wife and their one-year-old son to be there, surrounding him with love and support. She also rallied the clinic staff, bringing together nearly 20 team members to witness and cheer for this incredible achievement. The celebration was profoundly moving, a testament to Andrea’s dedication to her patients. She doesn’t just provide medical care-she provides hope, encouragement, and a sense of family. Her ability to create such a meaningful moment in her patient’s journey is why she deserves the DAISY award.
