Thank you for putting this 92-year-old patient at ease by pulling up a chair at the bedside to introduce yourself and explain what I should expect during the night, as I had just been admitted to the unit from the Emergency Department. He asked me how I felt and explained what I should expect.

Never before had a nurse shown so much compassion by pulling a chair up to my bedside. This was such a great thing to do, and first for this retired RN. He was so caring throughout the night. Checking on me and reassuring me that all was ok, asking if I needed anything, and to be sure to call him if I did.

I tell this RN to never change; he is a wonderful nurse deserving a hug and a huge thank you from this old nurse. The profession needs more nurses like him. Noble is lucky to have him in their hospital.

Thank you, Darren, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
