August 2021 Honoree
Brandy Frank, BSN, RN
I met Brandy the day I had lung/chest surgery. It was a very rough surgery. I was in a lot of pain. I had to have a rib broken, so the doctor could reach everything. I also had a chest tubes put in place and had to have my chest cavity cleaned out. It was very invasive and painful. I was scared and in a lot of pain. Brandy was my nurse that first night and made me feel like I was her only patient in the world. She listened to me, wiped my tears, and explained things patiently until I understood them. She also explained everything she was doing and would take the time to stop and talk to me if I didn’t understand something. It totally changed my night and made me feel so special. I would always tell Brandy thank you, but she went above and beyond what most nurses would do. It was a very scary day/night for me, and I will always be thankful for her. Thank you for allowing me to “Thank her” properly.
Thank you, Brandy, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
