On my first night I had a reaction - Nunu was competent. She went to get a fan to attend to my comfort needs. On subsequent nights Nunu was compassionate and kind - she was always present when needed and very helpful - it made my stay feel safe. I am a new cancer patient, very afraid, so the first night when I had a reaction the teamwork with Wendy & Nunu was amazing!

...

She has dedicated patience and care and love for my brother.

This is the second time Nunu cared for me in a difficult situation during a hospitalization for intense chemotherapy. Her clinical skills are superlative her manner is gentle. When we had to tell my partner that an important chemo drug had to be discontinued because of a dangerous reaction, my partner got upset - I got upset and Nunu intervened saying on Friday at 6pm let me try to reach the doctor so you can speak with her. She prepped the doctor, and the doctor spoke to my partner assuring her that our only hope for complete remission was not gone. Nunu's very presence is calming - yet she emanates competence and compassion in her care delivery. The entire 6 Center team is amazing. This visit I was especially touched by Nunu.

...

Nunu is genuinely very caring, compassionate, hardworking and puts patients comfort at top priority. Even though I only have Nunu as my nurse for just one shift so far, her professionalism and work ethics have left a long lasting, positive impression with me. Each time I see Nunu in the hallway, she always smiles at me and greets me warmly. I appreciate her care very much.
