Hannah spent about 3-5 minutes chatting with my Grandma, with tears coming down her face as she knew my Grandma was going to pass and she wouldn't get to see her again.
Hannah was my 90-year-old grandma's nurse for three days, up until the last day my Grandma was alive. She was so caring, sweet, and understanding. Hannah spent a lot of time explaining things to my Grandma and our family about the procedures and what was going on with Grandma. On Hannah's last day working with my Grandma, before she had three days off, and my grandma's last full day alive, Hannah came in at the end of her shift and held Grandma's hand and told my Grandma how privileged she felt being her nurse and how much she enjoyed talking to her. Hannah spent about 3-5 minutes chatting with my Grandma, with tears coming down her face as she knew my Grandma was going to pass and she wouldn't get to see her again. Hannah gave us all hugs when she left and said she would be thinking of us for the next 24 hours. Her consistent love and caring helped make the process of letting my Grandma go just a little easier. She showed her dedication and love for her job with how she treated my Grandma and her knowledge of all things medical. My mom and I feel privileged to have met such an amazing nurse in Hannah
