September 2020 Honoree
gilbert fernandez, BSN, RN
I had this nurse for the last 2 days. I have been in and out of the hospital and around many nurses over the last 25 years and 10 operations. I had a severe injury and if you haven't had one then you will never understand the true meaning of a good day or a bad one. This nurse changed my days from bad to good even though I was in a great deal of pain. He was able to put a smile on my face. He did what he said he was going to do even though he had a complicated assignment. He had another patient screaming next to me and made sure my door was closed. She wasn't saying very nice things. Even after he discharged her and got a new admission he never was late with my pain medication. He suggested measuring and icing my swollen infected arms so I could get some sleep for the first time in days. He never left my urinal full. Even behind his mask, you can see a smile and good intentions in his eyes. He takes his job very seriously and is not yessing patients or fellow employees. Thank you for bringing a smile to my face and keeping my wife updated on my care. Sometimes the many little things add up to something that just warms the heart
Thank you, Gilbert, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
