Marcus is a great nurse who is energized by doing his best for his patients. He has great stories about his nursing experiences. Most importantly, he strives to be a good person and succeeds. Marcus gets to know his patients individually, as well as their families. He dedicates as much time as needed to make them feel comfortable, to educate them, and answer questions. He sits with patients to comfort them, communicates with them and their families, and advocates tirelessly for them. He can be found walking the halls checking on his patients often. Marcus is always willing to help out by taking equipment to his floor that has been requested by his colleagues. I don't think there has ever been a time that he has told me "no" or "I can't." I want him to know how much I appreciate his help, because it can get rather hectic on the overnight shift in the Storeroom. I also appreciate that Marcus always asks me how I am doing and how my night is going. It seems like such a small/simple thing, but it's the small/simple things that mean the most. He's personable and professional, and it is my pleasure to work with him. Marcus has the heart of an angel and is truly the best of what nursing should be.
