When a patient looks like a new person after receiving good nursing care, I explain to my residents and fellows, that is the Sandra Effect.

She was warm, caring, concerned, friendly, and above all, professional and accommodating to my needs of the moment. My dad died in peace and comfort thanks to her efforts and those of your exceptional nursing staff.

She makes an effort to learn what is important to the patient and their family, and then she provides that.
