I recently had a knee replacement. I was lucky to have Molly as my nurse post-surgery. Molly was sincere and treated my family and me as if we were her only priority. Molly had great eye contact and smiled frequently.
I was having pain. Molly was attentive to my pain needs. I was in a great deal of pain the morning after surgery. Molly was my nurse again. I had not slept at all. She was compassionate and I could feel her concern about me and my pain control. Molly's interventions of giving me some IV Tylenol and ice were key in decreasing my pain. Molly may have had other patients to care for, but she made me feel like I was her only patient. A great big thanks to Molly for helping me!
As a nurse myself, it is always a challenge to be on the receiving end of the care. 2 North is very lucky to have such a compassionate nurse on their team!
***
A very compassionate, skilled nurse. I was particularly impressed at how patient and caring she was about how miserable and painful my stomach was. She would help me up to move so I would feel better. As I did, thinking I could do this on my own, I started to fall and she grabbed me. She kept me from falling. She informed me to sit down and basically let her do her job.
I appreciated her honesty and sense of humor. She was also a great listener. Her attempts to provide care for me and improve my disposition was above and beyond. In my opinion, Blessing and her mentors should be very proud of her.
