From the moment we first met Ann, she was a take charge sort of nurse and I loved it! She has a lot of knowledge and was able to
share it with us in a very friendly, non-threatenlng nature that made my husband more receptive to listening. Being a young
stroke victim, I wasn't sure how he would take to the huge stroke booklet that was handed to him. Ann covered the information
with us in a very easy manner In more of a conversation form than formal teaching. My husband responded well to this. His IV was
hurting him and I had forgotten to ask the doctor if we could dc it. Ann came in and remembered that we wanted to ask and she
went and hunted down the doctor on her own, got the order to dc, and then came and did it. Little things like this made our stay
much easier. I think that Ann is one of the shining stars on St loe's 9th floor. She had a positive impact on our lives and I just
wanted to take the time to say "thank you" and let you know.
