She exhibits the kindness, compassion, and values that, as nurses, we hold dear in the profession.
When you first meet this Caitlyn, you think she is shy, reserved, and very young. As you watch her with her fellow students, you see she is the leader encouraging those who are struggling in class. She exhibits the kindness, compassion, and values that, as nurses, we hold dear in the profession. To her patients, she listens with an open ear and brings to attention the client's needs. She interfaces with the staff and always seeks new information; she is the nurse I would want to care for me. Caitlyn is an extraordinary nursing student who has demonstrated a high level of discipline and adherence to policy while maintaining excellent grades. Her clinical instructor concurred that she is highly skilled, extremely knowledgeable, compassionate with clients, and helpful to classmates. She consistently displays and promotes high ethical standards. While preparing to sit the NCLEX-RN exam, she continues her employment as an LPN in pediatric home health care. Her employer described her as "an absolute blessing in the patient's life." He revealed that his son was involved in a motor vehicle accident and suffered a traumatic brain injury. Caitlyn, who has been working with this patient for over a year, cared for him like her own child. Her level of care, kindness, and patience will be forever etched in the family's minds. The patient's dad emphatically stated that if he could sum up his impression of Caitlyn in one word, it would be "Phenomenal."
