Her ability to make me feel at ease, even sharing moments of laughter and personal connection, was incredibly uplifting.
I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional care provided by Nurse Shawanna during my recent mitral clip heart procedure. Following my procedure, I experienced heavy bleeding at the groin insertion site and was required to lie flat for four hours. During this challenging time, Nurse Shawanna's calm assurance and professionalism made all the difference. She explained that such bleeding can occur with this type of procedure and immediately contacted my doctor when she grew concerned, ensuring that my care was both prompt and thorough. Despite my discomfort and reluctance to endure the prolonged immobility, Nurse Shawanna went above and beyond in her care. Her ability to make me feel at ease, even sharing moments of laughter and personal connection, was incredibly uplifting. She treated me as more than just a patient, extending the warmth of sisterly care reminiscent of the bond she shares with her own sister. Additionally, she took the time to interact with my friend, who accompanied me that day, further demonstrating her commitment to holistic, compassionate care. Nurse Shawanna exemplifies what it means to be a dedicated and empathetic registered nurse. Her attentiveness, kindness, and genuine concern for my well-being transformed a stressful situation into one where I felt supported every step of the way. It is clear that nursing is her calling, and I hope that her outstanding efforts are recognized and celebrated. Thank you for considering my commendation for Nurse Shawanna.
