All my nurses were amazing. However, April helped me get through a difficult time. I just had the biggest and the most painful procedure done I have ever had. It was also the first time I ever stayed in the hospital overnight by myself.

April made sure I was comfortable. Anytime I needed to do something like dangle my feet off the side of the bed or when the Foley had to come out. She always explained everything in detail and with reasoning.I knew what to expect and why. She answered all my questions with ease and confidence.

The biggest thing I have to thank April for is being there. She was there in my worst time and made sure I didn't feel like I was alone. It amazes me how someone can just meet someone and make them feel so much better just being there. It is hard to bring to words what April's presence did for me that night, but it meant the world to me.

She deserves this recognition for the awesome job she does. Anyone who gets her assigned to them is lucky!

I had a baby and was re-admitted a week later for pre-eclampsia. During both my stays, April Rose was very supportive and dedicated, which made me feel so much better. I am so truthfully thankful even for the support she gave me, my husband, and my baby, making it a little less stressful in the situation.
