Maria Ivy Minerva, an NCV who works in the MICU on the Galveston Campus, recently was awarded the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. Ivy is a longtime night shift nurse who always embodies the core values of UTMB and the character of an extraordinary nurse. She has her MSN in education and also teaches the School of Nursing first-semester nursing students.

The DAISY Award was established to celebrate the extraordinary compassion nurses provide their patients and families every day. Recipients exemplify the nursing values of extraordinary compassion, courage and integrity in every situation and consistently demonstrate excellence in the delivery of patient care and promotion of their professional nursing practice. Congratulations, Ivy!
