May 2021 Honoree
Emily Engerman, RN, BSN
Emily stepped into my life on a day that I was the sickest I have ever been. Feeling scared and lonely as the hospital is not a place you want to be alone. I had to leave my six beautiful children. That is when I met a true “angel” nurse, Emily. Emily became much more than a nurse, but also a friend. Not just any friend but one who genuinely cares about the patients. We met when I was on 15L of oxygen. In the 8 days that I was here, I was lucky to have Emily for 4 of those days. She came in and was ready to fight the oxygen and start reducing. “We are going to make your body work too,” she said. Within a day, we reduced the oxygen by 2 liters. On Monday, Emily asked if I wanted a shower. I never felt so much better. With each passing day, Emily encouraged me to keep fighting and now with her help, I am finally going home. Emily, you will always be remembered through my journey. I am excited to see how many other lucky patients lives you get to touch! Thank you for all you did!
Thank you, Emily, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
