His advocacy and commitment are what drew me to him. I was hurting, worried, and missing my family through it all. I had two ER visits, and his knowledge, empathy, and compassion gave me a sense of love and care my family members would have.
Raymond demonstrated all 5!

Integrity for me to say I trust a person after all I have gone through is huge personal growth. Without question I trust him to guide me, inform me, or get the information I share to the proper person.

His commitment to me saved me from possibly having surgery, another he had to intervene with a medication that was left off and he immediately solved the issue.

His advocacy and commitment are what drew me to him. I was hurting, worried, and missing my family through it all. I had two ER visits, and his knowledge, empathy, and compassion gave me a sense of love and care my family members would have. One of my visits to the ER was at night; he made sure I had a meal when I returned. The ER nurse called for me to get a ride back to the Dom, but another nurse answered the phone, telling her I could walk back. She was upset, but I told her to call back and speak to Raymond. He immediately had a van sent for me. I had just taken a diarrhetic and was cramping. He just thinks of everything, such a caretaker. I respect him as a professional. Raymond was able to make me laugh in every situation I encountered.

Respect and Excellence shine like his personality. Not just anyone can make me laugh while in the pain I was in. Also, he kept me calm and made me feel secure that he had my back. I believe that wholeheartedly. Raymond is an outstanding and irreplaceable asset to not only the Domiciliary but also the Veterans Affairs of WPB as a whole. I nominate Raymond as an Extraordinary Nurse, and he is an extraordinary person. We need more of his energy in the world!
