This nurse always went above and beyond to provide my son with the best care, and we will forever be grateful for everything this nurse did for my son.
My son was admitted to the hospital for two Craniotomies with a left frontal love resection. During this time, he had some pretty serious complications; being a nurse myself and knowing what could happen and what needed to be done was even scarier. Kelly took care of my son during my difficult shifts, and I have to say this nurse is pretty amazing. The confidence, level of expertise, and actions reassured me that this nurse put my son in the best possible hands. We had many scary and heartbreaking moments during this time, and this nurse always knew exactly what to do. This nurse would address all my concerns, answer my questions, and keep us involved in the plan of care. This nurse always went above and beyond to provide my son with the best care, and we will forever be grateful for everything this nurse did for my son. Seeing this nurse walk in at 3:00 PM gave us a sense of security that if anything worse happened, this nurse would know what to do and would be quick to act. We will forever be grateful for her taking great care of our son. Please consider giving more than one DAISY Award. During our long continued stay, we have met some amazing nurses.
