It is with profound admiration and heartfelt gratitude that I nominate Amy for the DAISY Award. Amy exemplifies the very essence of nursing, bringing not only clinical excellence to every shift but also a deep compassion and warmth that radiates to her patients, their families, and her colleagues.

Amy was caring for a patient and engaging her in friendly conversation. A few moments later, and without warning, the patient went into sudden cardiac arrest. In that critical moment, Amy took prompt action with unwavering composure and expert precision. Her response was immediate, her interventions were life-saving, and her presence was nothing short of heroic.

Thanks to Amy’s swift and skilled care, the patient was stabilized and extubated the very next day - sitting up alert and able to visit with her loved ones. What could have been a devastating outcome became a story of recovery and hope, all because Amy was there.

Amy consistently brings a positive spirit and a readiness to meet any challenge. She leads with heart, demonstrates clinical mastery, and shows an unshakable commitment to her patients. She is the kind of nurse who inspires everyone around her and reminds us why we chose this profession.

Amy embodies everything that the DAISY Award stands for: compassion, courage, clinical excellence, and humanity. Her impact is lasting, and her dedication is extraordinary. Amy, thank you for being a light in our unit and a true example of what it means to be a nurse. You change lives, and we are all better for it.
