Erin's attention to detail in her clinical assessment made me feel at ease. My son has neuromuscular disorder of unknown etiology since birth. In Feb. he was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme. Erin's compassionate caring attitude helped ease some reservations since deciding to start end of life care. No one wants their child to pass before them but Erin made everything peaceful and calm for my son. She made me feel more peaceful. She will never understand that she helped us in our most difficult time. We cannot thank her enough for her service and commitment to providing exceptional care.

My son came into the ER with pain everywhere from his brain cancer. Erin came in and introduced herself to everyone and explained what she needed to do. Then she took time to listen to me and to my son (who is difficult to understand because of lengthy medical history- neuro-muscular disorder). She made us feel at ease and peaceful about everything. Erin is kind, caring, thoughtful, and well rounded. She truly listens to the needs of the patients and does everything in her power to make sure her patients are at ease with the whole nursing process. My son started end of life care while at the hospital and Erin was so compassionate.
