My great aunt suffered an aneurysm. The patient care was exemplary. Yet, care of our family was even more outstanding. Devin took the time to sit with my great uncle and his children, and explain some of the care options mentioned by the physician. She answered questions about what a feeding tube will look like, where a feeding tube would be placed, and how a tracheostomy works. More important than the knowledge Devin imparted, she took time to make the family feel informed and empowered to make some very difficult decisions. Her kindness and patience were unparalleled. When her shift ended, Devin left behind her personal phone number and asked the family to call her if my aunt's health deteriorated. Devin wanted to support them through the situation even after working all night long. My great uncle stated, "no one could have treated us better". There is no greater compliment for a registered nurse.
