Nurses are often the unsung heroes of healthcare, providing not only medical care but also emotional support during difficult times. It is with profound gratitude that I nominate Kenzie, an ICU nurse, for the DAISY Award for her exceptional care of my grandmother, R, following her brain cancer diagnosis and subsequent surgery. The emotional toll of brain cancer and surgery was immense, but Kenzie’s empathetic care provided a healing touch beyond physical recovery. Her ability to listen, understand, and provide emotional support was a source of immense comfort. Kenzie’s presence reminded us that we were not alone in this journey. Kenzie embodies the qualities of an outstanding nurse and a compassionate human being. Her exceptional care, unwavering support, and profound empathy made an incredible difference in R’s recovery and our family’s lives. Kenzie’s dedication to her patients and her ability to provide holistic, patient-centered care make her a deserving recipient of the DAISY Award. We are eternally grateful for the care she provided and the positive impact she has had on our lives. Kenzie is a true healthcare hero, and it is an honor to nominate her for this well-deserved recognition.

Note: This is Kenzie's 3rd DAISY Award!
