She was just wonderful.
From the moment I arrived, I could see that this RN was knowledgeable and understanding. She spoke up on my behalf when I was in a bad place. She checked on me regularly, always smiling and being kind, explaining the plan for the day and what the goal was. She is wonderful!
Nomination snippets from earlier this year:
Both my wife and I were in, and she went above and beyond making sure that tests were getting done, correct labs were ordered, and scans were completed. She was just wonderful. The care and interest that this nurse had was different; it was deeper than just “OK, I’ve got what you need”. She took time to really listen. I was having a mini crisis, and God knew I needed compassion, and he sent me her. She is quick and follows through. She is dedicated, hard-working, and compassionate. Because of her, I had the head of nursing and my dismissive surgeon at my bedside, where we talked and started over. She calmed me and gave me back my peace of mind. She is nothing less than phenomenal, an angel for sure when I needed one. I feel very safe and cared for by her. This is a special nurse, a kind, beautiful soul.
