Rabia Boukalis

Rabia was nominated by a patient's family:

"Rabia took care of Neil for 3 straight 12 hour day shifts when he was at his worst. I have so many examples of how she was firm but gentle to both Neil and all of us...his family. She was constantly at his side, which provided a comfort to me... I felt I could take a short break and he would be safe. She (and Dr. Fantus) are the only things that let me keep my sanity, know he was in the best hands, and kept me thinking that he would make it. And she did it with a soft touch and a sense of humor. There were countless ways she made me miss nursing at the bedside and wonder if I would be or ever was as good as she. THANK YOU RABIA".
