I am honored to nominate this professor for the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurse Educators. As a colleague working on the same floor, I have witnessed firsthand the immense dedication, compassion, and tireless support they provide to both students and colleagues.

They spend countless hours in their office, patiently tutoring students who struggle with course material. Their unbiased and compassionate approach creates an encouraging and inclusive learning environment, allowing every student the opportunity to succeed. Their patience and understanding are truly commendable, and the ability to connect with students on an individual level makes a significant impact on their success.

Their kindness extends beyond the interactions with students. Last year, they went above and beyond to support a fellow faculty member who was overwhelmed with teaching responsibilities for the semester. They frequently checked in on the colleague and offered assistance with Canvas courses, and anything else that they could support. This thoughtful and selfless support highlights their extraordinary character and dedication to the well-being of their peers.

Their unwavering commitment to education, students, and colleagues exemplifies the spirit of the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurse Educators. The professor is truly deserving of this recognition, and I wholeheartedly endorse their nomination.
