He frequently asked if I needed something and told me the name of every pill and IV and what it was for.
I am an 82-year-old woman, and I am uncomfortable with a young male nurse since I need help with bathroom needs. To make it worse, I had Ischemic Colitis, which caused bloody diarrhea. Dominick anticipated what I would need or want before I asked for it. He frequently asked if I needed something and told me the name of every pill and IV and what it was for. He was very self-confident without being cocky and arrogant. I know that nurses work long, tedious (both mentally and physically) hours and are more than ready to leave when their shift is over. He came in as he was on his way out - he already had his backpack on - and told me he hoped that I got better. Dominick is an example for all nurses.
