She spoke with them, asked them about their lives and interests - I could literally see my kids relaxing because she was just creating an environment of peace and calm.
I want to start by saying every Nurse I encountered on this unit has been incredible! I met Aubrey Gross early on in my stay and she truly just brought a sense of peace during this terrifying time. Every time she came in to do a neuro check or give me medications, she took her time, answered my questions, and if she didn’t know something she knew who to contact to get the information. I am a young mom and honestly, this entire experience was just so surreal. During my tears and even a panic attack, Aubrey was there and comforting me. She genuinely talked to me about life and my children, even offered hugs! I think what took this full circle for me was the first night my kids were able to visit. I have an 8-year-old and 6-year-old and seeing anyone in a hospital is scary, but especially mom! Aubrey was there for a part of the visit and so genuinely interested in what my kids had to say. She spoke with them, asked them about their lives and interests - I could literally see my kids relaxing because she was just creating an environment of peace and calm. Aubrey is truly amazing! Thank you so much for the peace you brought to my life during this incredibly scary time. Thank you so much!
