What Makes Hillary an Incredible Nurse? Hillary with her DAISY award!

Hillary is an outstanding nurse because she goes beyond traditional patient care. She not only provides exceptional medical attention but also forms genuine relationships with her patients. Many of these bonds extend far past the hospital walls, as she often stays in touch after they are discharged. Hillary’s approach shows that great nursing is not just about treatment, it’s about compassion, connection, and trust.

A DAISY Award–Winning Nurse

In recognition of her dedication, Hillary was honored with the prestigious DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses.

Celebrating Extraordinary Nursing: Congratulations to DAISY Award Winner, Nichole, a Uniti Med Travel Nurse

At Uniti Med, we love celebrating the incredible nurses who make a difference every single day. Today, we’re shining a spotlight on one of our own, Nichole, who was recently honored with a DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses at Monument Health Rapid City Hospital!

DAISY award winner Nichole Taylor, a Uniti Med travel nurse

The DAISY Award is a special recognition reserved for nurses who consistently go above and beyond in their profession, showing compassion, clinical excellence, and dedication to patient care. And if you’ve ever worked alongside Nichole, you know she embodies all of that and more.

Why Nichole Inspires Us

Nichole has been a cornerstone of excellence at Monument Health, working across Med/Surg, Telemetry, and PCU. Her teammates describe her as calm, confident, and incredibly skilled—able to handle even the toughest situations while bringing comfort and reassurance to her patients. She’s the kind of nurse who makes everyone around her feel supported.

But her impact doesn’t stop in South Dakota. As a travel nurse with Uniti Med, Nichole has taken her talents to Maine, Kentucky, and Wisconsin, thriving in everything from Level III trauma centers to

major Level I trauma and teaching hospitals. Wherever she goes, she adapts, learns, and shines.

Compassion in Action

What makes Nichole stand out isn’t just her knowledge or technical skill, it’s her heart. She’s known for receiving “WOW” cards and praise from leadership, patients, and peers because she sees what others need before they ask, communicates with warmth and clarity, and always brings a reassuring presence.

A True Team Player

Nichole doesn’t just care for patients, she cares for her team, too. She’s quick to jump in and help coworkers and was recently selected to be a preceptor for new staff, mentoring the next generation of nurses with the same compassion and excellence she’s known for.

Going Above & Beyond—Always

Whether she’s staying late to make sure a patient feels cared for or stepping in to support a colleague, Nichole is the kind of nurse who never settles for “good enough.” She lives the spirit of the DAISY Award every day.

We are so proud to have Nichole as part of the Uniti Med family. Congratulations, Nichole—you inspire us all, and we couldn’t be happier to see you recognized for the extraordinary nurse you are.

“Nichole embodies everything it means to be an extraordinary nurse,” praised nursing recruiter Kristina, “She rises to every challenge with grace, professionalism, and compassion. Nichole not only delivers exceptional care to her patients and continually goes above and beyond. Her expertise and selfless dedication make her an irreplaceable part of the Uniti Med family I feel so blessed to be able to work with her and help her along the way.”
