Clare has been my nurse almost every night I’ve been in the hospital, therefore meaning she has worked her butt off but my patient care never suffered. It gets lonely in the hospital and one can start to get sad but Clare never made me even think that way because she was always there lifting up my spirits. She works like crazy, yet still managed to find a way to help me, both medically and emotionally. Medically she has explained things in a way that the outcome isn’t serious or something I need to get myself worked up over. She has answered every question I’ve asked in regards to what tests are being done and why in ways that I can understand. She never forgets the little things that make me happy (ex: remembering I love popsicles and bringing them to me) - very personable in so many ways. I’ve watched her be the only nurse on the floor at night and somehow never neglect a single patient. I’ve also had the privilege of watching others follow/learn from her and these nurses will excel from just one shift with Clare.
