Nurse Weston gave me hope for the future today. He treated me like a person, asked questions, and listened to my story with clear sincerity.
I have never been taken care of as well as I have been today by nurse Weston. His range of perspective is outstanding and his capacity for compassion goes beyond that of any nurse whose care I have been in. Nurse Weston gave me hope for the future today. He treated me like a person, asked questions, and listened to my story with clear sincerity. I cannot begin to describe how much being in his care truly meant to me today. I came into the hospital absolutely terrified and after just one day under the care of nurse Weston, I want to live. I want to be better. He has such a natural way about him. Nothing felt contrived, even though he went above and beyond several times to make sure that I was taken care of the way I needed to be taken care of. It’s not like everything was just suddenly made better and I feel completely out of the gutter, but as I said, Nurse Weston’s care today gave me hope. I have never had a nurse quite like him, and I hope other nurses can learn from him. I just felt a strong need to tell a supervisor how extraordinary I feel nurse Weston is at his job. I don’t think he even understands how much his being here means to me. I am so incredibly grateful that I landed with him as my nurse today. I hope to have him several more times throughout my stay. Thank you for hiring him. He is the perfect fit for a place like this, and he has helped me want to live another day.
