My baby was admitted for burns to his face. The right side of his face and his eye was closed shut for several days. Priya took her time to clean and wipe his eye, taking several breaks and singing to him in between because he was in pain. She took her time to soothe him and make him relax enough for her to clean his eye and get it to open. She did everything that day without me asking. She took the time to explain things to me and most of all she gave a reason to smile that day! I actually got to see my baby's eye open because it had been several days without seeing it. She was the only nurse to even attempt to open it. She's an all-around nurse and I'm very thankful for someone as loving and caring as her. Every child deserves a nurse like her on the floor to bring a smile to their parents' faces.
