McKenzie was so patient and kind and helped in calming me down and getting the care I needed while continuing to wait for my surgery.
I have breast cancer and went in for my mastectomy. It has been an extremely long day and my surgery kept being pushed back and pushed back. McKenzie was so patient and kind and helped in calming me down and getting the care I needed while continuing to wait for my surgery. She was kind, sweet, attentive, and extremely fast when it came to my requests for a TV and medicine to calm my anxiety. I don't think I would have stayed for my surgery without her kindness and help. I wish there were more nurses like her, and I feel extremely lucky to have had her as a nurse. I hope she is chosen for this award because she is the definition of kind, compassionate, caring, assertive, everything a nurse should be.
