Melissa Bull, RN

Melissa went above and beyond for me while we were admitted to USACW. I was transferred from Labor & Delivery to the 5th floor when I was approved to move; then, shortly after, I was again transferred to the 3rd floor due to my type one diabetes. Melissa was my nurse and understood my disappointment at moving from the newly renovated rooms to the 3rd-floor high-risk unit. I was diagnosed with diabetes at 8 years old, have 7 years of experience as an endocrine nurse, and am a pump trainer for the pump that I wear. Although I have type one diabetes, my A1c is within the normal range, and I have excellent control.

Melissa was the best patient advocate for me. She went to her nurse manager and collaborated to make my recovery as good as possible. I am so thankful I had Melissa as my nurse for 2 days in a row. She answered all my questions and ensured I had everything I needed to support my recovery. She made sure I felt important, heard, and acknowledged all my concerns.

Melissa is truly an asset to the USACW team, and I hope she knows how much of an impact she made on me- not only as a patient, but as a nurse. Thank you, Melissa, for an amazing experience. You made me, my husband, and my entire family so thankful that we were on the 3rd floor- simply for the reason that we were able to have you as our nurse. We are so thankful.
