This young lady is the epitome of what many nurses around the country should strive to emulate. Her genuine care and compassion for those experiencing the grueling regiment of chemotherapy treatments are shown in her mannerisms, her voice, and the acts she displayed on a daily basis each time a member of our family came within her presence. The lady is a true gem with the potential to go anywhere in the healthcare field and in life, and she has a true commitment to giving and being the best at what she does.

But what is truly amazing is not only was I taken aback by the professionalism, courtesy, and upbeat personality and attitude she continuously displayed, but each member of my family would come back from our mother's room and comment on Elizabeth's seemingly natural and affable attitude towards everyone she came into contact with. Our mother bonded with her through family events, pictures they shared, and the great care she received from her. This DAISY Award is the perfect means to congratulate and recognize a person who came into our families' lives in dire times but was able to brighten it with her smile, poise, nursing skills and professionalism.
