Rebecca made sure I was ok before she left, even though it was late, and not her responsibility.
Ms. Rebecca took such good care of my husband. She was his nurse the day he was sent to the floor from the CICU. On our second day in her care, my husband’s condition began to worsen. His doctors decided he needed to go back to the CICU. The wait to have him transferred took longer than expected and it went into the next shift. Rebecca was supposed to get off at 7. I was a nervous wreck after they took my husband back to the ICU and Rebecca (even though it was way past shift change) came into his room just to check on me, to make sure I was ok help me gather his things. She even helped me calm down because I was pretty upset. She also helped me carry his belongings down to my car and then she walked with me back to the CICU because the doctors were going to let me see him before having to leave the hospital again.

Rebecca made sure I was ok before she left, even though it was late, and not her responsibility. I wasn't her patient, my husband was, and she still made sure I was taken care of. My husband was in the CICU on the vent for over a week and when we got sent back to a regular room, I was happy to see that Ms. Rebecca was his nurse again. She has taken such great care of us while we were here and I wanted to make sure she gets credit for going the extra mile when she absolutely did not have to. My husband and I appreciate her so much.
