Jennifer has a warm, caring spirit and is very attentive to any and every need.
Words cannot explain how thankful I am for Jennifer and the care she provided my nephew. On our 5th day here, it was a tough day. He was emotionally exhausted and not tolerating the day well at all. He needed to get out of bed and get out of his funk. He had no desire to do anything other than sleep. Jennifer was adamant about his getting up, taking a walk, and getting a shower. She pushed him in a firm yet gentle way. She supported him while motivating him. Today, we are being discharged, and so much of it is because of her. We are beyond thankful for Jennifer and will forever owe her!

Another nomination for Jennifer states I came to the hospital so unexpectedly and found myself quite frustrated. Jennifer pushed me to get up and motivated me to push myself. She fielded many phone calls from my friends and family. She never got frustrated with me, even when I was aggravated. Thank you for never giving up on me and keeping me motivated.

Another nomination for Jennifer states Jennifer is very thorough with her job. She has a great personality, and you can tell she loves her job! I don't feel like I am a bother to her. When I push my button, she comes running, or the other nurse would. She is really a great nurse, and I appreciate everything they did for me.

Another nomination reads Jennifer has been a Godsend to us! I came in as a transfer from another hospital, not sure of what was going on with procedures and surgeries. Jennifer explained each step and made sure we were kept informed about times and schedules. So very accommodating and such a sweet, wonderful personality. We compared notes on kids and professions, and lots of other things. Jennifer has a warm, caring spirit and is very attentive to any and every need. She made having to be in the hospital much easier, and we will be forever grateful for all of her assistance. No bad days here! We need more nurses who excel in their work and take it seriously. After my husband came back from his second surgery, she was concerned about me and brought me a sandwich, chips, and water. Two thumbs up for our new friend!
