My wife is a patient of the 5th Floor Oncology unit. Julia was her daytime nurse. I stayed with her 24/7. Julia stands out for many reasons. She is professional, accurate, and efficient. Above that, she has an extraordinary touch. Her touch and bedside manner are incredible and comforting to my very sick wife. I saw her gather food, handle medicine, and go beyond the normal expectations. Additionally, she is articulate and thorough in her work ethic. I saw her take charge during an anxious moment. She has a unique kindness and demeanor that you cannot teach. She is destined for leadership.
