During an overnight shift, a patient was brought in by ambulance from a hotel with critical medical concerns just days after giving birth. Due to her condition, the patient was unable to care for her newborn and had very limited belongings to support the baby's needs.

Dominque Faulks immediately stepped in and went above and beyond their clinical responsibilities, ensuring not only that the patient received high-quality care, but also that her newborn was safe and well cared for. Dominque took the initiative to maintain the baby's feeding and changing schedule, providing comfort and stability during a very vulnerable time.

What truly sets Dominque apart is her extraordinary kindness and selflessness. After completing her overnight shift, Dominque took it upon herself to go to the store, using her own money, to purchase essential items for both the patient and her baby, including a diaper bag and clothing.

Dominque actions exemplify the highest standards of nursing excellence. Dominque compassion, initiative, and unwavering commitment to both their patient and the patient's child made a profound difference during a time of great need. Dominque Faulks truly embodies the spirit of the DAISY Award.
