She took me to the cafeteria to get a latte, and she took me to take a shower on another floor. She spent the entire afternoon making me feel like a person again, like I wasn’t alone.
I have suffered a tremendous loss, my 22 year old daughter passed away 2 weeks ago and on my way driving to Ohio for her funeral I was pulled over and arrested in Utah for medical marijuana. I was put in jail for 7 days, my car was impounded, and I missed my daughter's funeral. I had a mental breakdown as a result of all this, which brought me to UC Davis Medical Center Hospital. I have been here for 7 days. I felt alone and had lots of anxiety and fear. Andrea Reddic took the time to walk with me, and she found me shoes and clothing. She took me to lock my car in the parking garage and roll up my windows. She took me to the cafeteria to get a latte, and she took me to take a shower on another floor. She spent the entire afternoon making me feel like a person again, like I wasn’t alone. Her warm smile and personality are what make her a wonderful nurse and are what made me feel better about being in the hospital. She took a bad day I was having and made it beautiful again. And for that, I am extremely grateful. I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart and tell her that she is very special. She made my entire day better with her patience, kindness, and going above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. I just absolutely love her, and that is why I am nominating her for a DAISY award, she deserves it, she truly truly is a wonderful nurse! Thank You
