He even stayed past his shift to put a feeding tube in my husband because I was upset about anyone else doing it.
I am the wife of the patient, and I cannot give enough praise for the care we have received from this nurse. I know God is pleased, and so should Methodists have an RN like him. From the moment he entered the room, the kindness and professionalism were just impeccable. His compassion for his patient and family was heartfelt.

He explained everything so everyone could understand what he was doing and what to expect. I really love the sensitivity he used when handling fragile patients. And no matter how many times he was called upon, he delivered or gave you a timeline when he would return to follow through. I’m so impressed. I’ve been to many hospitals, and never experienced this kind of love for his job or the people he cares for. He even stayed past his shift to put a feeding tube in my husband because I was upset about anyone else doing it.

He is a God-sent nurse, and I hope Methodist sees that in him and gives him the recognition he deserves, because this is highly unusual in the medical field these days. I believe God chose him for this career, and this nurse makes Him proud.
