It is with great enthusiasm that I nominate Colleen Flaherty for the DAISY Nurse Leader Award. As the Program Coordinator and Developer of the PCT Program at Lowell General Hospital, Colleen demonstrates an unwavering commitment to the successful onboarding of newly hired Patient Care Technicians (PCTs), both with and without prior experience. Colleen’s passion for her work is evident in her diligent efforts to design and refine the program curriculum, ensuring that each new hire has a positive and effective transition into their role. Through her continuous development of the program, Colleen ensures that PCTs are well-equipped with the skills and confidence necessary to excel within their scope of practice and adhere to the highest standards of care. In addition to her work with the PCT Program, Colleen has also been instrumental in the creation and growth of the RQI Program within the organization. Under her leadership, the program has achieved remarkable success and continues to expand. Colleen is not only an exceptional educator but also a dedicated mentor, preceptor, and colleague. Her expertise and guidance are invaluable assets to the Nursing Education and Professional Practice Team. I wholeheartedly recommend Colleen for this well-deserved award. Her dedication to advancing professional practice and supporting her colleagues is truly commendable. Lowell General Hospital is fortunate to have such a talented and inspiring nursing leader.
