Rachel continued her attentive responses late into the evening and stabilized my wife perfectly.
Rachel Rodriquez consistently demonstrated excellent nursing care in my wife's post-op recovery. She demonstrated caring attention to the detailed regimen to address my wife's deteriorating medical condition with a wonderful smile and relaxed confidence. My wife was in the PACU scheduled for simple recovery and discharge. However, she developed several complications including extreme pain, problems breathing, and a very high blood pressure reading of close to 200. Rachel responded to each problem over several hours following medical protocols to address each problem.

Additionally, she aided several other nurses on the floor needing help with their patients. Rachel continued her attentive responses late into the evening and stabilized my wife perfectly. I personally was convinced my wife was probably going to have to be hospitalized but by the time we left, I was very confident Rachel had overcome all of them. Thanks to Rachel my wife and I went home and she has made a nice recovery since then.

I am a retired healthcare professional with over 50 years of experience and can recognize extraordinary, excellent nursing care when I see it. I also taught in the Department of Nursing at Metro State University and have a good sense of what an excellent nurse is all about. I honestly believe my wife would not only have suffered even more and might have developed complications that might have led to serious issues had it not been for the measures taken by Rachel Rodriquez.
