I want to nominate Terra Fletcher for the DAISY Award in recognition of her exceptional demonstration of what it means to be a DAISY nurse. Terra recently cared for a male patient in the ICU who had a history of drug use and was awaiting transfer. This patient, struggling with his internal demons, had expressed that he had lost all hope. He was gravely ill for his age, and it seemed that the stigma often associated with patients in his situation was palpable. On a particularly difficult day, Terra went above and beyond in her care. She entered the patient's room, took his hand, and engaged in a heartfelt conversation about the magnitude of God and the possibility of change. She spoke to him about his daughter, reminding him of her love and the need she had for him in her life. The patient was deeply moved by this conversation, shedding tears as he realized the impact of Terra's words. He later expressed that he had been at his breaking point, but Terra's compassion and understanding gave him hope and made him feel loved, something he had not felt in a long time. This powerful moment is a testament to Terra's abilities as a nurse. She exemplified the essence of compassionate care, offering comfort and hope to a patient who was at his lowest point. Thank you for considering Terra Fletcher for this prestigious award.
