Anthony is what a nurse should be.
Anthony is what a nurse should be. He not only took care of my medical needs but was always ready to help. I needed someone to get out of bed to go to the restroom. I was always respected and when I came to bed the sheets were straightened and ready for me. He would adjust my pillow and knew just where I liked it to be. He made himself available without being asked. I don’t know how he kept track of all his patients, but he was available, and never did I feel he was hurried or didn’t have time for me. Anthony is a jewel.

Things did for me:
1. Always kept my water full
2. Warm blankets
3. Remembering things that comforted me
4. Very responsive when I needed or called for him
