🌼 A Heartfelt Congratulations to Our DAISY Award Honoree, Nurse Nikki Karlinsey 🌼

Sometimes, the smallest acts of kindness leave the biggest mark.

One family shared how Nurse Nikki was their light during one of the most vulnerable moments of their lives — the early arrival of their baby boy. Through sleepless nights and anxious moments, Nikki’s calm reassurance, compassion, and expertise brought peace and confidence to a new mom and dad learning to navigate parenthood.

Her patient wrote, “She goes the extra mile for her patients… she’s the kind of nurse you want taking care of your family.”

We couldn’t agree more. Nikki, your compassion reflects the very heart of nursing. Thank you for bringing warmth, hope, and healing to those you care for. You truly make a difference every single day.

Please help us in congratulating Nikki!
