I was blessed to have Caitlyn as my nurse. She immediately set about making me feel safe and well cared for. When she noted I was feeling frustrated, Caitlyn chose to share a part of her life that paralleled mine and it made all the difference to me. She is the only other person I know who I can talk to and who knows exactly what I am going through. That is huge for me. We established a true friendship during my three weeks on her unit. Caitlyn is kind and compassionate, intuitive, knowledgeable, interested and highly skilled. In short, she is a natural! Caitlyn is an amazing caregiver and I have no hesitation in saying, were it not for her and her team, I would not have healed nearly as well. We all know each other by name and whenever I visit, the smiling faces are like a welcome home!
