I was so sick and in so much pain, and this nurse always came to see how I was doing and if I needed anything.

This individual has been my nurse for a few days and has been very sweet. This person is very aware of my fear of needles, and being that I have to have my blood sugar tested every 4 hours, this isn’t easy for me. This nurse is very patient and understanding and takes their time when poking me so that I barely feel a thing! Not an easy feat for someone with the fear that I have. 

This nurse showed me a great deal of compassion, calmed me down, and held my hand when a phlebotomist came to take a sample. If not for this nurse, I may not have allowed my blood to be drawn at all. 

This nurse took the time to check in and make sure I was doing okay, which made my stay a little easier to cope with.

This nurse has been taking care of me for a few days and is one of the most professional healthcare workers. This individual gave me 100% of their time. This nurse is a perfect example of what an educated professional should be.
