I was lucky enough to have Desirae as my nurse last night. Something got confused and it turned out I hadn't had my pain medication for 6 hours. Desirae spent the rest of the night playing catch up trying to control my pain. She did a tremendous job even putting warm compresses under my neck and towels under my heels. Even though she knew I was in a lot of pain, she herself stayed so very bright and cheery, cracking little jokes and saying things to make me smile. I truly appreciated that. Finally, by 4 AM she was able to control my pain by using all sorts of creative means bringing my pain level to a "2". Desirae checked on me at least 20 times. What an excellent nurse she truly is.

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