From an international patient: “Superb care and service, she loves her job and you feel it every moment. You are in great hands with her.”

From a husband and wife: “Outstanding nursing. Listened intently, answered all of our questions. Went above and beyond to help us get checked out even though our treatment was delayed. Superior job and especially kind, warm, and friendly.”

And from her peers:

“She helps in patient-nurse conflict situations as well. She has great problem-solving and resolution skills. Monica is a great resource on the unit and often takes on charge nurse's role. “
