After surgery, I was admitted to the SICU. After waking up, nurse Cari asked how I was feeling. I told her I was fine but hungry. It had been 24 hours since I had last eaten. Cari came back with a hot bowl of chicken noodle soup and some crackers. I thanked her profusely. After a while, she asked me if I was still hungry and I said yes. She then set out to find me something else to eat. She came back with a turkey and cheese sandwich which she asked me if I wanted to be heated up. I said please! Cari went out of her way to see that my simple needs were met, not just with nursing care but a simple thing like chicken noodle soup. My hope is that nurse Cari is recognized for her unselfish work in the SICU.
