Lyn admitted me to the unit. I needed IV immunoglobulin transfusion which needs blood pressure, pulse, temp, O2 sat and very close monitoring and adjustment of dosage every 30 minutes. Lyn had a full regular load of patients but remained calm and patient and was in my room adjusting dosage from 9 pm to midnight. She even had time to get me anti-nausea meds when I needed them. She had me for two nights and administered the IVIG on both nights. She is the most hardworking and oriented to detail nurse that I have ever met. She was calm and very pleasant, and I felt safe during my first hospitalization and first time getting IVIG. Thanks, Lyn! You are the best.

Lyn is very professional and knowledgeable about nursing. Staff says she excels at her craft and is a resource to others, always willing to help. Lyn has a special place in her heart for hospice and end of life care. She once was assigned a patient who had considerable pain and anxiety and Lyn spent the night adjusting medications and providing support to the patient and her family. The next morning the patient's daughter shared how grateful they were to have Lyn care for them that night. Lyn's kind heart and compassion shine through in the care of her patients.
