Samantha was one of the kindest, sweetest, most attentive, and truly caring nurses that my father had ever had. The bedside manner she possessed was impeccable. She was encouraging and reassuring when my father was down, as he had been through a rough hospital course. She was his cheerleader and tried to do anything she could to not only lift his spirits and make him as comfortable as possible. Her knowledge base was also beyond impressive. She took care of my father as though it was her own father. She is a trusted asset to the SICU team. She tried to get my father to laugh and joke around and really brought him back so much of his dignity.
