I am nominating my nurse, Taylor, because she truly changed my life. From the moment she walked into my room, she treated me with such love, respect, and genuine kindness that I felt safe in one of the most vulnerable times of my life.

Taylor has a gift—not just for nursing, but for making people feel human, seen, and cared for. She never once made me feel like a burden; instead, she cared for me with patience, compassion, and the kind of warmth that can’t be taught. She listened to me, advocated for me, and went above and beyond in ways that I will never forget.

Taylor reminded me what dignity and healing really feel like. She is the perfect example of what nursing should be: skill, heart, and humanity all wrapped into one incredible person. Taylor is not just a nurse—she is a healer, a comforter, and a light during some of the darkest moments. She deserves the highest recognition for the impact she makes every single day.

I will forever be grateful for her care, and I know I am just one of many lives she has touched so profoundly. Taylor is, without a doubt, the perfect nurse, and she embodies the true spirit of the DAISY Award.
