Tabatha used her cosmetology background to fix and style the young patient’s hair so that she felt confident enough to join in on the group sessions.
Tabatha is an extraordinary nurse. Tabatha is such a friendly, kind nurse always caring for her patients with the utmost compassion and attention to detail. Not only does she demonstrate immense knowledge of her profession, but her positivity and generosity deeply shine throughout every interaction she has with her patient, their family members. She is a great example to her peers and is a vital part of the team at Singing River CRC. She takes her time and explains the situation to her patients especially those who may have a difficulty understanding.

Recently, Tabatha noticed a young lady who she was caring for was having a difficult time participating in group therapy sessions. After spending some extra time with the patient, Tabatha learned that the young lady was very insecure because she had to have her hair shaved for a recent procedure. After learning about this, Tabatha used her cosmetology background to fix and style the young patient’s hair so that she felt confident enough to join in on the group sessions. She can often be found going above and beyond for our guests doing things like this to ensure they are comfortable throughout their entire hospital journey. The world needs more nurses like Tabatha, and we are glad she is on our team.
