Tanisha was nominated by one of her patients for providing extraordinary care:

Within one minute of meeting me, Tanisha was dedicated to ensuring I was well informed about my care and treatment options. She asked about specific details and took the time to pass the information on to my surgeon and other nurses. She knew that I was anxious about having surgery so she reassured me and kept me positive the entire time. There was a time that I was thinking about leaving, but Tanisha took the time and explained how my condition may worsen. I was experiencing so much pain and Tanisha made me aware of other patient alternatives. She was sensitive to my needs and even cried when I began to cry.

I was recently diagnosed with a new disorder and she made me feel comfortable. She provided me with information about everything I needed to know about my disease process. She was very organized and went the extra mile, even though she had other patients that needed her as well. I am in tears as I’m writing this because I’ve never met a stranger that was more concerned about me. This nurse is truly and angel and I can go on and on about how she made a difference in my life and I’m so grateful that she was my nurse.
