Broadly, Sarah is a great nurse who consistently goes above and beyond the ordinary and is extraordinary.

We had a patient who was nearing the end of life. The patient and long-time fiancé were hoping to get married, but were unable to receive their license due to the patient’s health difficulties. I was called to perform a small exchange of vows. Sarah offered her own piece of jewelry for the patient to have a ring. Sarah was also floated to a different unit at this time.

This small act reflects her ability to perform well and effectively in any situation. 

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