Oh my goodness, Rachael deserves an Emmy Award. She jumped right in at one of my not-so-greatest moments and reassured me, offered words of encouragement, and made sure I felt comfortable all night long. I know she is not just a nurse but an advocate, a real-life superhero, and one of the best humans this world has to offer. Rachael reminded me of my own ma. I felt so safe in her care and was not at all for one second worried about anything while she cared for me. Rachael and her corpsmen made sure I slept, ate, and took time to care for me. They both took G out of the room so my husband and I could get good sleep to decompress. I owe it to her. She will never not be talked about when I tell my son about his arrival to this world. She is a real-life angel and I will forever be thankful for her.

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