Cassidy was my wife's nurse two weeks prior to my own hospital admission. My wife spoke so highly of the care she got from Cassidy, which pleased me because I was out of town. Not until I was admitted myself did the reality of her words hit me.
Cassidy is a true healthcare professional. She demonstrates the compassion and support that you want and need at a time of illness.She was knowledgeable about my care, medicine, and recovery. She explained things to me and always let me know what she was doing. When she was with me, I was treated as if I was the only patient.
She was precious to my wife who was recovering from her illness, and she covered every need I had. If all nurses were like Cassidy the healthcare field would be perfect!

When you know your stay is not over but your favorite nurse is not working, what do you do? I cried! If I had to describe Cassidy, I'd never find the perfect word, but precious comes closest. Her compassion is above; she was very personable yet held onto professionalism. With my family out of town, I was alone a lot, and she became my friend. In the limited time, she was in my room, she cared for my needs and reassured me on my condition.
Due to my very high fevers, my linens and gown had to be changed every two hours or so, and Cassidy never hesitated to do this. Her calm mannerism and delightful wit create a relaxing stay for those lucky enough to be her patient.
As I said earlier, Cassidy is precious, and like a fine gem, should be cherished. How lucky are we that Mission has a first-class employee, Cassidy McFadden?!

My grandmother has been in the hospital for several days. She's on a feeding tube and has pneumonia. I would like you to know that Cassidy is an exceptional nurse! She took wonderful care of Maw Maw on the night of her extraordinarily difficult admission day. Cassidy asked about our goals and was incredibly reassuring and sensitive to Maw Maw's needs.
As a full-time caregiver, I was very reluctant to leave my grandmother overnight. Cassidy told me that she would be working for three nights, and I immediately felt better. My former husband is a physician, and I have had many hospitalizations myself for various reasons, so I've met a great many nurses.
Cassidy is a wonderful nurse! Not only is she a very knowledgeable nurse, but she's such a sweet person. There's nothing as great as a great nurse!
