During my hospitalization, I had PICC line inserted for nutritional needs. I knew I would be discharged with PICC line and TPN for several weeks at home. Anne Marie worked with me for several days instructing me on how to administer TPN at home, and care of PICC line. I will be forever grateful for Anne's support, patience (understatement), and her ability to teach me and cheer me on while I learned how to handle this challenge. Once I was home, I called Anna at least twice for help with TPN administration. She made herself available to me always, with the care and compassion of a truly exceptional nurse and human being.
