November 2024 Honoree
Alyne Vargas, RN
I was a patient at Saint Francis, where the doctor had to clean out my arteries in order to prepare for my open heart surgery. Even though I was only in the hospital overnight in the ICU, Alyne Vargas Could not have been any better as my nurse than she was. She was amazing; never once did I wait more than three seconds after pushing the call button. It did not matter whether I needed to go to the bathroom, whether I needed food, water, medicine, or just someone to talk to about what was going on. Never once did I want anything that I did not have within seconds, and never once was there a complaint. The answer when I thanked her was always the same, “Of course, It’s my pleasure.” I hope you have an amazing day, and I look forward to taking care of you next time. I do understand that one night does not give a lot of significance to the task however, I have had lots of surgeries and spent lots of time in recovery, and I have never once had a nurse who did as good a job as this young lady. She is going to be an absolutely amazing nurse for countless numbers of people
Thank you, Alyne, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
