On NYE, MaryEllen's patient had an allergic reaction to her chemotherapy. She was quick to respond, get help from the provider, and promptly administer medications. Despite the clinical aspects of the reaction, MaryEllen held the patient's hand, explained what was happening, and provided nonstop reassurance that she would be okay. The patient stated that when everything was done, she had been terrified of not being able to breathe, and MaryEllen had helped keep her calm. MaryEllen is one of the kindest nurses I've had the pleasure of working with. She consistently shows compassion for her job and her patients. Her calming nature and special time she takes to ensure patients feel cared for and supported do not go unnoticed.
