#1 of 2 Nominations: Dear Amelia, Thank you for your kindness & compassion you gave to my mother and myself. We truly appreciate that you were there to hold her hand before she lost consciousness. I know it helped reduce her fear & it gave me great peace knowing she didn't feel alone at that moment. Now I know why nurses are nicknamed "Angels of Mercy". I will always be grateful to you and God for such a blessing. I pray your career will be of great reward and may God richly bless you always. #2 - My father was somewhat psychotic from pain meds & was not an easy pt. Amelia was extraordinary. He responded to her well. Despite calls for assistance multiple times per hour, Amelia responded quickly with patience, a smile and gentle manner. When dad was agitated, she brought her charting "thingy" into his room & worked from there. That was amazing! Putting Amelia's skills together with her patience & demeanor, qualifies her for this award at the best.
