I was in the room with my son when I heard that someone was yelling for someone and I thought that it was a patient who was getting difficult. I went to that room to see what was happening when I saw Eleanor trying to wake-up the patient, then she asked me to bring the blood pressure machine, she didn't want to leave the patient alone. I could see her professionalism in that situation. Thanks to her the patient started breathing again, then doctors and more nurses came to help, but if she hadn't been there the patient would not have been able to wake-up. Thanks Eleanor for loving your job.

Hats off to the nursing staff. Their professionalism, care, and service to their patients are unparalleled in the Chicagoland area. Then there is Eleanor McBride, who appears to have been trained by Mother Theresa herself. From the moment you enter, she is informative, attentive, caring and observant. She has a smile, calm demeanor and goes an extra mile to ensure the patients are comfortable and cared for.
