This is a nearly impossible task since all the staff on 3A have been outstanding. However, one nurse has been closely focused on my care during a very difficult hospitalization, Laura Burnham. Everything she did was advocating for me and at the same time met the concerns of my wife. Outstanding!
***
Laura always puts the patients first. The second she feels something is wrong she gets in touch with the providers. Recently she felt a patient was decompensating and needed a higher level of care. She contacted the provider, updated them, and ensured that the patient got the care he deserved. She is always respectful and shows excellence in her patient care. When she has one of my patients, I know they will be cared for wonderfully.
