Lissette is a nurse who works the night shift on the eighth floor. Lissette has been my nurse on numerous occasions and has never failed to provide me with extraordinary care. The qualities that she holds are ones that draw the line between being a good nurse, and a great nurse.

Lissette always enters the room with a smile; it is a small gesture, but very comforting, especially in a pediatric environment. Her smile displays her calm attitude and has the ability to ease my mind, even during bad situations. During my multiple admissions at All Children's, Lissette has always made me feel like a priority. She manages her time so effectively, in turn, making me feel important as her patient. I know that when I need something she will do whatever she can to get it. I know that when I am in her care, all of my patient needs will be met. Despite my age, she takes all of my concerns seriously and is always ready to help. As a teenager who does not have my parents here at the hospital, she makes me feel comfortable and optimistic about my situation. Her ability to ease my mind is impeccable and admirable.

On one particular night, I was feeling incredibly lonely and missing my mother very much. I was able to see how much Lissette cared when she entered the room and offered to braid my hair. She is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, empathetic, and great with prioritizing. Overall, Lissette has made my admission at this hospital much better.
