MAYS LANDING, New Jersey (WPVI) -- Nurse Natalie Felder helps patients overcome addiction at Recovery Centers of America (RCA) at Lighthouse in Mays Landing.

She made a special connection with one former patient, Micayla Jurasik. And as a result, Jurasik wanted to do something special to thank her.

She nominated Felder for a DAISY Award, which recognizes exemplary nurses for their compassion and excellence in care.

Felder was shocked when she learned she was chosen as a recipient.

She continues to be an inspiration for Jurasik, who hopes to resume her career path to becoming a fellow nurse.
