We had a homeless patient come in with soiled clothes. Caroline was not the primary nurse, but she took it upon herself to wash his clothes. She was unable to get them clean after several cycles in the washing machine, so she went and bought him some new clothes and a sweater. After ensuring that the clothes would fit, she even took them to be washed, too. This is just one example of how compassionate Caroline is and how much she cares for others.
