It is a privilege to nominate Jordan Myers for the DAISY Award. Her clinical expertise is matched only by her deep compassion, and she exemplifies the kind of nurse whose impact resonates with both patients and colleagues alike. Jordan consistently demonstrates compassionate, patient-centered care—mobilizing her patients with encouragement and purpose and ensuring their emotional and physical needs are met with kindness and creativity.

Jordan takes the time to truly get to know those she cares for, forging connections that go far beyond routine interactions. One especially touching example of this is a moment with a patient who is a lifelong cattle farmer. After learning about his background, Jordan hand-drew a picture of a cow for him and wrote the message: “Keep moooooving forward. Get well soon! You’re doing great - your night shift nurse, Jordan”. It brought an immediate smile to his face and lifted his spirits in a way that clinical care alone could not. These small but genius gestures are not exceptions for Jordan - are her standard.

Jordan is innovative in her care, always thinking one step ahead to make a patient feel more seen, more understood, and more hopeful. Her patient rooms are not just tidy; they’re thoughtfully arranged and personalized. Jordan decorates whiteboards and side tables with handwritten messages and affirmations tailored to each individual. These human touches add immeasurable value to the healing environment.

Jordan is also a reliable and proactive member of the care team. She collaborates seamlessly to ensure quality outcomes and never hesitates to offer a helping hand.

Whether advocating for a patient’s preferences or supporting her colleagues, she shows up with integrity, warmth, and a clear sense of purpose. Jordan exemplifies compassion and inspires innovation. She uplifts everyone around her. Jordan is the essence of what the DAISY Award represents, and there is no one more deserving of this recognition.
