Dorothy Knight, BSN, RN

Dottie was nominated by a patient who had recently had a double mastectomy and still had the drains in. She described Dottie as caring, almost mothering, and said she made her feel calm and reassured. Despite being scared of a complication, Dottie's loving spirit helped keep the patient's attitude positive during this trying time. The patient reflected on the days after their interaction, and the memories of Dottie's presence brought her peace.
