I nominate Anice for the DAISY Award for her exceptional care and compassion towards a young 18-year-old patient who suffered from a severe stroke, and her mother. Despite the demanding nature of the patient's critical condition, Anice demonstrated remarkable dedication by not only managing medical procedures and assessments but also addressing the holistic needs of both the patient and her mother.

What truly sets Anice apart is her unwavering commitment to patient-centered care. She took the time to thoroughly explain each aspect of the care she provided to the patient, fostering a sense of trust and understanding between them. This open communication helped alleviate the anxieties of her family. In addition to expertly handling line insertions, medication titrations, and exams, Anice went above and beyond by taking the time to wash and detangle the patient's hair, providing comfort and dignity during a challenging time. She took the time to give her two braids to help save her hair, and humanized the way the patient looked to the family among the lines and drains.

Moreover, she extended her care beyond the hospital walls by personally crafting a care kit for the mother, including essential items like shampoo, deodorant, toothbrush, and toothpaste. Recognizing the mother's overnight stay and her distance from home, Anice further assisted by helping her find reasonable hotel accommodations and facilitating the necessary paperwork. Her thoughtfulness and commitment to meeting both medical and emotional needs exemplify the true spirit of nursing excellence. Anice embodies the values of compassion, empathy, and selflessness.
