John Chin

One can only imagine what it must feel like to go from showing up for work as a seasoned nurse day in and day out to becoming a patient. One of John Chin’s patients was about to experience just that, but knowing she was under the care of a skilled nurse made all the difference.

“One of the worst things about being a patient is the not knowing,” the patient said. But John eased her mind by paying close attention to every detail and thoroughly explaining what to expect.

“He went above and beyond, talking to my family and making sure we were informed … We all became his patients – not just me – and that is a special skill for a nurse to have,” she said.
