Rachel is outstanding in my eyes. She provides great care as was proven during my most recent hospital stay. I was in the hospital and had a procedure in February. I was told that upon returning to my room I had no color and stopped breathing. Within minutes the rapid response team went into immediate action to save my life. One of those team members' actions was exceptionally admirable and that was this nurse. Not only was she kind, compassionate, and caring for me all day that day, but her quick actions were instrumental in saving my life. She helped to keep my airway open until Respiratory could arrive and put me on a breathing machine. She was able to assemble a group of coworkers that each had their own part in helping assist me to recovery. Although there were many people involved in my care, I feel Rachel played the biggest part. She was aware of all my medical concerns and apprehensions before and after my procedure. Throughout my whole event, she was able to stay by my side until I became more responsive.

She went above and beyond for not only me but also the concerns my husband had as he also witnessed my scary breathing event. She made sure that my husband was informed of all the decisions being made on my behalf when I was unable to speak for myself. My husband was able to place all his trust in this nurse’s care for me. He never doubted any of the decisions made.

I can tell that not only is this nurse great at what she does, but she is also truly passionate about caring for her patients. She is an excellent nurse. She would be a vital team member no matter where she works, but she is truly a vital team member at Grant Regional Health Center.
