From Courtney’s patient:
“During my stay at Saint Alphonsus Nampa I was fortunate to have Courtney as my nurse during her shifts. This would become overwhelmingly important on my 2nd day. By 2 AM I was awake and writhing in pain. When Courtney arrived she saw me and said, “You’re hurting aren’t you?” She instantly started working on my situation. By the time lunch arrived my pain was back under control and I was working toward recovery”.
From Courtney’s patient’s son:
“While my dad was at Saint Alphonsus Nampa the nurse who deserves the most kudos in my opinion is Courtney. Dad had his ups and downs as I am sure most patients do; however, everytime an issue came up as some did she was able to turn things around in short order. She approached my father as if he was family. This kind of insight and care she displayed was amazing. She knew what he needed before he would ask. From 7-up to pain meds she was always one step ahead. Thank you Courtney for treating my dad like he was your dad.”
