I am honored to nominate RN Cynthia Tellez for the DAISY Award. She consistently goes above and beyond all expectations in her role. Her unwavering integrity, deep compassion, and profound respect are evident in everything she does. The way she carries herself and interacts with others makes you feel valued and cared for—almost as if you were in a 5-star hotel.

Cynthia took the time to calm my nerves during one of the most difficult times in my life, speaking with a humble, reassuring tone that both my wife and I deeply appreciated. She was always attentive and offered immense support as I navigated the overwhelming challenges of recovering from my stroke.

Her exceptional work ethic, kindness, and dedication make her the best nurse I've ever encountered. Cynthia embodies the qualities that deserve recognition and celebration, and in my opinion, she is a living testament to why nurses deserve their own holiday.

Cynthia is already incredibly special in my eyes, and I am truly grateful to her. Thank you, Cynthia, from both me and my wife.
