She takes the time to listen, to comfort, and to truly see each patient as a whole person.
I fell and began an experience I never wanted to have. I am in my 80s, and falling is an especially dreadful thing to have in your life. However, there are always little gifts God hides in your life’s struggles. This nurse is one of those wonderful surprises. She entered our lives, and she was a ray of sunshine we looked forward to seeing. As our nurse, she was perfect! She answered all our questions, gave my husband and me reassurance that someone was looking out for us. She has been everything we hoped for in a bleak situation.

This nurse is the kind of nurse who doesn’t just care for patients- she uplifts, inspires, and brings hope even in the darkest moments. Her dedication goes far beyond clinical excellence. She takes the time to listen, to comfort, and to truly see each patient as a whole person. Vanessa consistently makes a difference that can’t be measured in vital signs alone. She reminds patients that they are not alone and that there is always hope, even in the face of the most difficult challenges. Her compassion is relentless, and her presence is a gift.
