Cara E. Carter, RN

I recently had to have surgery done at GGH. Having been healthy my entire life, this was going to be a new experience for me. Once settled in my room Cara immediately began to notice the anxiety I was beginning to feel. With numerous nurses, techs, anesthesiologists and assistants, doctors, signing forms, things began to feel a bit overwhelming. Besides taking care of her nursing duties, Cara continually took the time to comfort and assure me everything was going to be ok. A comforting hand and conversations to try and take my mind off of the surgery were well appreciated. After surgery and in recovery Cara was there when I woke up to make sure I was comfortable and to assure me everything went well. She continually checked in on me to address any needs I may have had and to make sure I was doing ok and pain-free. Besides her nursing professionalism, I can’t thank Cara enough for her compassionate care and ability to comfort what surgery could never do. The whole surgical team was great as well!
