Dulce Valencia, BSN, RN

My daddy was admitted to the hospital. He ended up on the 6th floor and passed away while there at 11:05 AM 6 days later. His nurse was Dulce. She was a very compassionate and caring nurse to my dad and to all of the family that was by his bedside for several days. Knowing that he was dying, I asked her to give him something to help his pain. When she gave him the injection she asked me if it was OK if we prayed. She had the softest yet very clear voice and asked God to relieve him of his pain and to hold him tightly on his way to heaven. She prayed for God to hold the family in His arms during this difficult time. I think it takes a very special person to be able to perform such tasks.
