I knew that when she was in your care that she would be loved and taken care of and for that, I am forever grateful.
This person is what you would call an exceptional nurse with a love for what you do. I believe it truly takes a special person to take care of tiny babies, but that’s not all you did as our nurse. You not only cared for our precious daughter, but you also comforted me.

Our daughter was a twin, but sadly we lost her sister just a few hours after birth. You became our primary nurse within our first week in the NICU. After losing a baby, I needed someone to guide me through this journey as well as be an advocate for my daughter when I was unable to be around. I knew that when she was in your care that she would be loved and taken care of and for that, I am forever grateful. You possess great critical thinking skills, interpersonal skills, communication skills, and knowledge in your field but what makes you a great nurse is your passion for what you do. You are a true patient advocate.
