Mary Rotar, RN

I have hard veins to find, she took her time and let them pop up instead of just stabbing them like I've experienced at other hospitals. She showed me how the gown is supposed to be tied, because it was missing a strap. I admit I was in a state of “Do whatever because I'm in a state of anxiety, so take over.” Mary took notice and gave me a warm blanket and put the heat tube on. She was so sweet and helpful. I was very nervous, and she helped calm my nerves by talking about my animals, interests, and my very long medical battle. She gave me some ideas to investigate, like food allergy testing and looking into my heart rate spiking when I stand up and blackout. She was just so kind and seemed to really care about me and my comfort. I've been in so many clinics, hospitals, and EDs over the past 3 years and have seen hundreds of nurses, she has been the best out of all of them. I wish all nurses had her kindness, compassion, empathy, and ability to read patient’s body language. Thank you, Mary!
