We are honored to recognize Kinley, a student nurse whose actions truly exemplify the highest standards of our profession. When a patient arrived at the unit’s entrance in cardiac arrest, Kinley demonstrated outstanding clinical judgment and decisive action by immediately initiating CPR. Her swift response was instrumental in saving the patient’s life.

Beyond her clinical excellence, Kinley brings warmth, compassion, and a natural ability to connect with patients from the very first moment she meets them. Her genuine kindness creates a sense of comfort and trust that positively impacts the entire care team.

It is with great pride that we present this DAISY Award to Kinley Byers — a student nurse who embodies the perfect balance of technical skill and the human touch that defines exceptional nursing care
