Nellie took care of me throughout the night. When I had just had major abdominal surgery, Nellie kept up on my nausea and pain control. When I told Nellie how much pain I was in and couldn't walk all the way to the bathroom, she got me a bedside commode.  When I was slow and crying from pain to use the commode, Nellie was soft-spoken and did not rush me, ever. She never seemed annoyed or frustrated. While I know she gets lots of patients with this kind of surgery and other kinds too, she still made me feel like I was the only one. She knew what she was doing as a nurse, but also as a nurse who cared for me beyond my diagnosis.  She listened to me, answered questions I had thoroughly, and educated me on things new and "old" too to ensure I understood.  She checked in on me frequently and ensured I had everything I needed. Thank you, Nellie. You are extraordinary!
