I had been in the hospital for the third night in a row with an acute illness that was causing me to feel depressed and lose my spirit. She walked in at 7:30 in the morning with such a joyful heart and spirit. Immediately, she attended to my pain, my sadness, and my feelings of hopelessness.

Throughout the 12 hours, this nurse never stopped caring for me. She made sure to update me every step of the way. My pain was the worst I ever had in my entire life. I was sobbing, and she cried with me. I could really feel her love toward people and her job. She is such a kind and compassionate nurse. Truly, a patient advocate.

You do not often find these types of nurses. She is a model nurse for all those who come after her, as well as for her colleagues. I feel so blessed to have crossed paths with her in the patient nurse scenario. Thank you FPH for hiring the best of the best!
