I have been so impressed with the "caring touch" of all your 7th floor nurses but Christina stands out for the extra time she takes to make sure that my every need was met. Nights can be lonely, and the night shift nurses seem to have that extra gift of compassion. When you are sick and alone in the hospital, your nurse becomes your family and your lifeline. A caring smile is the best medicine and Christina has a wonderful smile and is a joy to know.
