She did everything within her control to work with the doctors and other nurses to find alternative methods to prevent the pain when the standard medications were not working.
Morgan cared greatly for me and treated me as a patient. She was kind, compassionate, and extremely responsive. When I had a question, she answered. If I needed anything, she took care of it. She related to me and explained everything in great detail. I've been in the hospital many times and have had 16 surgeries. She is the best nurse I have ever had. She is a great asset to Duke. Thank you, Morgan! - You are the best.

Morgan has been a fantastic nurse after our father/husband’s spine surgery. She has explained everything so clearly and gone above and beyond to ensure he and his family are comfortable and set up for success in recovery. We cannot say enough positive things about her.

She was so sweet and gentle and kind. She was very educated and answered all questions with confidence. She is truly an amazing nurse and someone who I can tell loves her job!

My daughter had a PAO hip surgery. Morgan was super helpful in her care for my daughter. She answered all our questions and was a great advocate for her. She helped and assisted in every way and was on time for meds. She checked on her frequently and made sure all our questions were answered before leaving the hospital. Her bedside manners were amazing as well. Wonderful Nurse. Thank you!

Morgan was amazing and went out of her way to make sure I was well cared for and to make me feel like I wasn’t a burden, even though I was basically bed-bound. She advocated for me and really took great care of me.

Morgan was extremely attentive, acted with urgency, and jumped in proactively to help relieve my wife’s excruciating pain following hip surgery. She did everything within her control to work with the doctors and other nurses to find alternative methods to prevent the pain when the standard medications were not working. She was extremely busy but still made the time to make my wife feel heard. She communicated effectively about what she was doing and why. If something was going to take time, she would tell us rather than leave us waiting. Nurses like Morgan do so much to improve the patient experience, especially when pain and discomfort are so overwhelming. Thank you, Morgan.
