Nurse Audrey assumed responsibility for my recovery and welfare after my procedure. She immediately gave me confidence in her professional attitude and assessment of my vital signs. Surprisingly food service brought a liquid diet for breakfast. When summoned, nurse Audrey assured me that some error was made and requested a regular breakfast. This was brought in a timely manner and was very tasty. Nurse Audrey's attention to this situation exhibits her concern for her patient.

At discharge time, the admitting doctor had not sent the discharge papers. I asked nurse Audrey to contact him as my husband was waiting in the car with my clean clothes. She assured me that she had spoken with the doctor and he was apprised of the concern. Her communication skills with medical staff are polite and timely. I recommend her for this award.
