Belle Ottinger, BSN, RN

Belle has proven to be calm in the midst of my storm. I was so full of anxiety and felt totally overwhelmed and in a fast downward spiral. Belle kept it together and assured me calmly, no matter how elevated my anxiety. The entire staff on the floor is great, but Belle’s extra cool demeanor and ability to remain so calm and share the calm as if she has been on the front line in the armed forces with a preparedness that just made me feel more okay about my situation. I know my anxiety started to go down enough for me to at least get some rest. I don’t like being admitted ever, but Belle made me feel like I was under the protection of a big sister. So I remain grateful and maintain that she is nominated for being who she already is – extraordinary!
