My son has a developmental disability and is nonverbal, and Kimberly was his strongest advocate.
Kimberly was a super nurse, very dedicated to her job. She showed so much care for her patients. During the first three nights of my son’s stay in her unit, she went above and beyond to make us feel we were not alone. She offered emotional support and even gave us resources around the hospital for buying food and snacks.

My son was in the MICU, and Kimberly continuously monitored him. She was confident, and we never doubted her competence because her kindness was so evident. She truly embodies the nurse who always puts her patients first. As my son has special needs, it was wonderful to see her patience throughout the entire 12-hour shift.

She had a great bedside manner, always pleasant, always smiling, and wonderful to be around. She helped me understand what was happening every step of the way. I had a stroke and heart failure, and she worked with me to help me get stronger. She put my mind at ease throughout my hospitalization. She never complained or showed frustration, even when I needed to be cleaned so often. Her patience and kindness were remarkable. Overall, she was my best nurse!
