While working with a patient over a three-month period last fall, this nurse was recognized by the patient as being cheerful, caring, and hard-working. The patient particularly commended her for her tolerance of his bad jokes and habit of talking too much. Through her persistent encouragement and constant attention to detail, this patient was able to progress in his healing process. As verbalized by the patient “my whole 3 months with Sarah has been a GREAT experience and she is an ANGEL”.
