Not only did he help me, but he also washed me up and made sure I was clean without making me feel embarrassed.
I would like to nominate Nurse Mike for the DAISY Award because of his extraordinary compassion, professionalism, and dedication to my care. From the moment he walked into the room, Nurse Mike made me and my family feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. His calm demeanor and warm smile brought comfort during an unexpected hospital stay.
Mike consistently went above and beyond, providing not only clinical care but also emotional support. He took the time to explain tests in a way that was easy to understand, answered every question patiently, and never made me feel rushed. What truly stood out was when I needed restroom assistance. Not only did he help me, but he also washed me up and made sure I was clean without making me feel embarrassed. That kind of dedication speaks volumes about his character and commitment to nursing.
Mike embodies the values of the DAISY Award. His compassionate care made a lasting impact on my life, and I am incredibly grateful for everything he did.
