A Veteran was in the process of dying. Tina sat with the wife and explained the process of dying in the most graceful way to give his wife peace of mind during this difficult process.
Tina is the type of nurse that every nurse should inspire to be. She is there for her Veteran as well as the family. She is willing to jump into any situation to help her fellow nurse. She continues to educate herself to make her the best nurse she can be, and she shares her knowledge with others. She goes above and beyond for anyone around her. A Veteran was in the process of dying. Tina sat with the wife and explained the process of dying in the most graceful way to give his wife peace of mind during this difficult process. Tina was able to get ahold of the family to make sure they were all at the bedside when their father/husband passed.
