My toughest night was the one in which she showed me love and compassion for the sick. When I felt my loneliest, she was there.
I came to the ED and in the evening they moved me to an observation lobby where I was with 7 other patients. There were only two nurses there working with all 8 of us, but one of them specifically showed me the love and passion she has for her job but also compassion, something every nurse has in such a difficult profession.

In every moment, she showed me love, compassion, integrity, and respect. I was looked after and taken care of in a very special way. She was worried about my health and was attentive to me at all times like she was to the other 7 patients. For the last 3 days, every nurse has shown me compassion but my toughest night was the one in which she showed me love and compassion for the sick. When I felt my loneliest, she was there. I thank every single one of the nurses for their service, love, and compassion.

Thank you for how you treat your patients. There is no money that can pay for the best care in such difficult moments. Thank you
