14. DAISY’s Message To Nurses Whenever you smell that wonderful Cinnabon smell – in the mall or airport or baking with cinnamon at home - stop for a minute and think about how special you are because you’re a nurse. You may take for granted the incredible things you do every day, but your patients and their families certainly don’t. Think about the impact you have on so many people’s lives - not only your patients but everyone in your patients’ lives.
