Back in November, a patient and his father were here at Hahnemann due to internal bleeding which led to liver failure. This patient's fathers praised all the staff who took care of his son, however, Antonica went above and beyond for his son. Antonica's capacity to show heartfelt care and compassion for her patients makes her the ultimate nurse and caregiver. She made the patient comfortable and strong with her knowledge, help, and willingness which made his time at Hahnemann as pleasant as possible under the circumstances he was in. The patient's father thanked Antonica for her work, spirit, compassion, and honesty as a nurse.
