One of my patients, after her Friday surgery, had a hospitalization that encompassed most of the weekend. The patient did have some anxiety during part of her hospital stay, which was unexpectedly prolonged. I discussed the medical and psychological issues relating to this with Nurse Kelley. She completely appreciated the situation and took time to sit with the patient to discuss the medical status, medicines, and her anxiety. This made a big difference in my patient's experience during her hospitalization and she did beautifully with Nurse Kelley's care. It was very reassuring to me to have a partner on the floor who was so supportive of my patient.

Nurse Kelley is a very mature and professional individual and I very much appreciate the excellent care she afforded my patient.
