All of my husband's nurses took good care of him, but Nykole went above and beyond. She knew, for example, that he was going to Mill Creek memory care, and they were using the Pure Wick on him in the hospital. So, she recognised he would be more comfortable there if he could use the urinal. She set a timer on her watch, took the Pure Wick off, and came back to offer the urinal when her time went off to train him. Sure enough, he stayed dry all day and would signal when he needed it.

How thoughtful of her to not only consider his current needs, but also to think ahead for his future needs. I was with him most of the time, but one day, when I was gone for a few hours, she found a magazine for him to look through and had asked before I left what kind of Podcast he might like and what his favorite music was. When I returned, the country music channel was playing on the TV.

Once he had gotten up with PT, she made certain to get someone to help her get him into the chair. It wasn't just one thing, but the sum total of everything. With all the nurses have to do, it was amazing how she not only gave him excellent care in the present but also thought of his future well-being as well.
