In the face of an unimaginable emergency, Brittany demonstrated exceptional clinical expertise, composure, and compassionate leadership. While preparing to transfer a critically ill patient for a procedure, the transporter returned the patient to the hallway from the elevator with urgency concerns flagged by Heart Central. In the hallway, the patient went into Cardiac Arrest. Brittany immediately began CPR and, with her unit team by her side, rapidly moved the patient back into the room to initiate full cardiac resuscitation.

Though the patient ultimately passed away, Brittany's response was nothing short of heroic. She did everything in her power to advocate for the patient and escalate clinical concerns throughout her shift, ensuring that the care orders were not delayed. Her relentless sense of urgency, unwavering professionalism, and the coordinated effort of her unit exemplify the true spirit of nursing. In a moment that demanded courage and prevision, Brittany rose to meet it with grace and determination. Her commitment to excellence and her deep compassion made a lasting impact on everyone present. Brittany embodies the kind of nurse who leads with heart, and she is profoundly deserving of the recognition through the DAISY Award
