Nicole Pershyn has watched over my grandfather and has been nothing but extraordinary. She has gone above and beyond with care even when other patients need her as much as he does, but she does it with a smile and the utmost care. She embodies human empathy, with amazing skills and social reach that reward her with the interactions of these patients yearning for her and speaking in such high regard. She made an enormous difference in his treatment, in how he woke up and smiled, knowing he had the most special of nurses watching over him, getting him back to good health so he could return home to his family. I’m so thankful for people like Nicole; the world always needs more.
