Rachel has been my nurse many times on Silverstein 11th floor. She is consistently cheerful, happy, and just genuinely brings a smile to my face no matter how sick or unwell I am feeling. She also has a great memory and makes me feel important because she remembers our previous conversations from months apart. She is such a sweet and happy person that it really shows in her work and I am very thankful for her splendid attitude at the hospital and on Silverstein 11.

I had Rachel for 2 days. Right away, I knew she was going to be a friendly nurse by her warming smile and sweet personality. I have chronic lung problems and have been admitted over a dozen times over the years and Rachel has been the nicest, sweetest, and caring nurse that I have ever had. On a day in February, it was my son's birthday and he passed away last year so I was very sad and upset to be in the hospital. She made a special effort to spend time with me to see if I was alright and to talk with me about my son. That meant the world to me and to my husband, since I wasn't with him until later that day; he knew that Rachel was taking good care of me. So nominating her for this award is very important to me. She deserves it!
