No matter what I asked of her, she went out of her way to calm my fears, to ease my mind, to help learn what's wrong with me, help me learn trach care, cleaning, etc. She helped me to laugh and really get to know what's wrong with me. She loved me when I was scared and had more compassion for me then I could have ever asked for. She bathed me and took time with me and never rushed me when I was scared. She has all the values of your hospital. The letters for iHEAL in your hospital don't even do her justice! I can't say enough good things about her. She told me about what I have and went over everything to ease my mind and prayed with me. She sat with me and let me cry it out. She went out of her way to ease my fears, which meant a lot! Never have I seen a more dedicated nurse. I believe she cares about each and every one of us. She always has a smile on her face and always happy! I just love her. Her heart shows through as a nurse. Her Aunt is very sick and she told me stories to make me feel better. She just did so much for me. I can't pick just one thing. She's made my whole stay a wonderful stay. Thank you, Parkridge, for having her here for me! Please don't forget her. Please let her know how sweet, wonderful and deserving she is.
