Janice was wonderful! She is so sweet and so compassionate. She made my stay so much better. She made time to talk to me when I had depression from my being in the hospital and from my foot surgery. She took the time to answer my questions, which were quite a few! She had lots of patience and compassion. Janice really seemed to enjoy her job and took it very seriously. I could hear her with some of her other patients and she was caring and kind and patient with them also. She was always quick to cut off the machines when they made those awful beeps, others weren't quite as quick with them! Janice always took the time to ask how I was feeling and if I needed anything. If I asked her for anything, she would be quick about bringing it back to me. I asked for ice and jello! Janice stayed busy all the time. She would race up and down those hallways, as fast as her legs could carry her, back and forth, over and over again. I don't know how she did it. I watched in amazement, thinking I would fall out on the floor if I had to do that. Janice never seemed to run out of energy. She never seemed to lose her cool or patience. She made sure I had everything I needed and took very special care of me. Janice is exactly what a nurse should be. She's one-of-a-kind and made my stay at the hospital a very comfortable experience! Thank you, Janice!
