Hillary is a very uplifting nurse. When I was feeling down, she met me at my level and offered some kind words as well. She was never mean or impolite. She would say, "Do you want your 2:00 pm meds now?" with a smile and kind vocal intonation. I appreciated that she didn't announce the name of my medication out loud. I felt comfortable really being myself no matter what I felt, thanks to her open spirit. Thank you, Hillary, for your contagious joy!

When I was upset and frustrated Hillary took me to the sensory room. While in there, she let me talk things out and asked me great questions to make me think about why I felt the way I did. Hillary is also very good at explaining about medication and when my medications got a bit confusing, she talked to the doctor and helped straighten it out. She always seems happy and eager to help. I appreciate her effort, kindness and just being there when I need her.

When I first got here she was my nurse and I have never been in a unit like this before. She took the time to listen to me and then talk to me and help me feel much more comfortable being here and talking to me every time she was on the unit. She would laugh, joke and make me smile and get me out of my panic attacks even when she didn't know she was doing it. I think she is one fantastic nurse and I should know, as I use to work as a CPA. I think you should keep her around.

Hillary is one in a million! She is kind and shows compassion for all patients in the unit. She is soft-spoken and a hard worker as evidenced by how she addresses each concern of her patient. She is very poised and never seems rushed, intently listening to her patient's concern. When she is caring for her patient it feels like she is mothering and nurturing. I am glad that she was one of my nurses caring for me. Thank you, Hillary, for the care that you provided to me at one of the darkest times in my life.

Hillary! What can I say, she is the nicest person! She is so good at her job! This is the honest to God truth. She made me feel better, happy and safe. She is just one of these genuine good people! I'll never forget her and she has to watch a Harry Potter movie with "Luna" in it. I love her.

Hillary is a great nurse! She was my nurse during my stay and she was always so happy to help me get my meds and anything else that I needed. She always cheered me up. She is truly good at her job.

She listens to what I am saying, is always in a good mood, has a great sense of humor and genuinely loves her job. I greatly appreciate her personality, professionalism and courtesy.
