December 2015 Honoree
heesoo hong, RN, BSN, ONC
I had a hip replacement at University Medical Center at Princeton at Plainsboro. Heesoo Hong was my nurse upon my arrival for 2 day shifts during my stay. On my second day at the hospital I was given oxycodone and immediately had a very sensitive reaction to it. I was so sick I couldn't turn my head. Heesoo was with me throughout the day administering anti-nausea medications and encouraging me that I would feel better soon. It took 7 hours before I felt better. Heesoo was very kind, patient and compassionate to me during this ordeal. Although I know she was busy with other patients she was by my side. I have had at least 20 surgeries in my life and I believe she went above and beyond to help me get through surgery and on to recovery.
Thank you, Heesoo, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
