Bill is such an outstanding nurse. If I could nominate him 100 times over, I would.
Bill has been a nurse for more than 10 years. Even after many years of working as a nurse and working under the stress and pressures of being a nurse, this has never left him jaded or with a negative outlook.
Bill shows up to work each and every day with compassion, integrity, empathy, and respect. I would be proud to have Bill look after myself or my family.
I had worked with Bill for a short time in comparison to the length of his career, but I had no idea when I first met him how much of an influence he would soon become on me.

Bill's strong core values, integrity, and pure heart and intentions show every single day through his actions at work. This is a man who continues to put his entire heart and soul into this job, even more than 10 years down the track.

Bill is extremely humble. He doesn't need to talk about his work or the constant good deeds he does, because it shines through his actions each and every day. Bill inspires everyone around him, even without a single word needed. He is a man who leads by example, not words. He inspires people around him to lead with compassion, care, and patience. He doesn't let anyone negatively influence his strong core values. This is a nurse who is highly passionate about his job; without saying anything, you can see this passion displayed in everything he does, through the way he interacts with patients, family, and other co-workers.
I don't think I could even list the many good deeds I have seen him go out of his way to do to keep his patients happy.
***
He shows up as his true, authentic self, day in and day out. He is a man who has a huge heart and pure intentions. He spreads love and kindness to all around him. He treats all patients with a high level of respect and dignity. He treats each patient as if they were his family member. It's really refreshing and inspiring to see a nurse, more than 10 years into their career to continue to be this passionate and put so much heart and soul into their job, every day.
Bill isn't just a nurse; he is a patient advocate, therapist, support person, and best friend.

I use Bill as an example for what I'd like to strive for in my nursing career because I find it truly inspiring. I think we can all learn from Bill and his amazing values as a nurse. You can tell Bill was really meant to be a nurse; it shows in his everyday actions. Bill doesn't just say he enjoys his job; he shows through his actions every single day how much he loves being a nurse. Bill is a rarity and an absolute gem.
I think Bill 100% deserves the DAISY Award, as I'm sure he underestimates how much positive impact he has on everyone around him.
