My mother was admitted on and sent to the Telemetry overflow area. We were fortunate to have Adriana. We did have other nurses and would like to say all who have had a part in my mom's care have been good to her, but I feel that Adriana just did more than just check in. Adriana's attitude was always upbeat, caring, and patient. Even though there were other patients. Adriana always had small conversations with my mom and never brushed her off or made her feel like she could chit-chat.

I think this is so important because in a hospital setting, patients can get so lonely and feel like they have been cut off from the world. Conversations are so important for those who are looking for them. I stood with my mom the whole time and listened to Adriana's interactions with her and other patients, and it was just all so nice. Adriana is the only nurse who would use the whiteboard, so I would be informed of what meds were being given and what they were for.

Adriana made all the difference in my mom's stay. Adriana is caring, compassionate, patient, kind, and always moving, checking on her patients, getting them what they need, and always has a joyful character. I know being a nurse is overwhelming and demanding. I can only imagine the frustration they must feel. Sometimes that is hard to find, but Adriana does her job so well that it looks easy to manage when it's truly difficult.

 Thank you for being such a great nurse with your caring and helpful manner. May the Lord give you and all your staff the strength to keep doing what you're doing.
