Melora spent much of her shift at T's beside performing thorough physical assessments with clear explanations of procedures, lab, and x-ray reports. She was very organized with her care, untangling cords,tubes, and lines other nurses had overlooked. She was supportive and allowed me to participate in T's care and I was able to spend the night at his bedside, reducing our stress and anxiety.

Although T was in critical condition, he recalls how she alone took him to x-ray at 4am upon his request and how she calmly and competently rescued him from a very scary choking episode.

Overall, her nursing care greatly exceeded our expectations and definitely aided in his recovery. We are so thankful.

Thank you, Melora, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
