My mom is 85 years old and was admitted with cellulitis in her lower right leg. I spent every night with mom while in the hospital. Mom is extremely overweight and unable to control her bladder. The awesome duo of RN Ryan and RN K were such a joy. They never once made mom feel as if she were a burden. They explained test results and why the doctor was taking these steps toward recovery. They were courteous. My mom required RN Ryan and RN K to work as a team which entailed changing the bedding of a 300-pound woman several times through their shift. Never once were they hateful or acted annoyed, but greeted mom with dignity and a smile asking, “How can I help you?” and giving encouragement that tomorrow would be a better day. Mom did so much better this stay in the hospital than several from the past and I contribute the outcome to the dedication of their work and the positive attitude of these two RNs. RN Ryan and RN K, thank you for caring for my mother. 

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