For the past three days, I received excellent care from all the staff here. Yet, I have to single out Julie Rivas because she really went the extra mile. Every day she went through my medication with me and explained why it changed and what it was for. She also continued encouraging me to stay positive about my outcome. Words alone are not enough to explain all she has done. Her knowledge in this field so impressed me that I know I was in good hands. As busy as nurses are these days, somehow she found time to change my bed because the PCT was very busy as well. It showed a great example of the team player she was. Every shift change she introduced me to the duty nurse and pretty much gave them a mini report on how my day was and what to look out for. She did an outstanding job and finally through various medication adjustments, my diabetes got under control. I could not thank her enough and we celebrated the wonderful change. So please thank her for me for a job well done.
