Mrs. Green is an extraordinary nurse. I felt so comfortable having her take care of me. She always explained what was going on with me. She provided me with updates so I did not feel overlooked and understood my treatment plan. The reason for my admission wasn't sure. She checked on me several times an hour. She would look at me and ask me how I felt instead of looking at the computer. I always looked forward to her popping in because she would talk to me. I enjoyed what she would share about her family and that she has worked at MVH for 10 years. She would really listen to me and not just reply "uh-huh" or "that's nice". She would ask me questions. She made sure I did not have to wait for my medications or fluids. They were always ready and waiting when due. She explained why my vitals were being checked frequently. She gave me helpful hints and tips I could use to know if my blood pressure was getting high again. She never left any trash behind and even carted off my meal trays for me.
I saw her more than I expected.
I would return to MVH just because of Mrs. Green. I have never taken a survey or written a note like this before. Mrs. Green is a wonderful person. She brings so much care and compassion to this place. She is a true DAISY Nurse.
