When I was depressed, she was there for me. At times I thought I would never be able to leave and she reassured me.
Ms. Clark is kind, and caring, and always has a positive attitude, even on difficult days.

Being the father of a patient with mental health can be challenging in itself. However, there is never a time I am here and Nurse Clarke does not go above and beyond to provide exceptional nursing. She is amazing.

Ms. Clarke discharged my friend and was very helpful and polite in the process. She is very respectful and one of the best nurses I’ve met on that unit.

Whenever I call to speak to my cousin, Ms. Clarke goes above and beyond to ensure that he comes to speak to me, even on her busy schedule. She has a great personality and even if I call numerous times, she has never once made me feel like it was a burden.

While on 4 West, Ms. Clarke was very nice to me. When I was depressed, she was there for me. At times I thought I would never be able to leave and she reassured me. Now I can live my life. I want to say thank you to her.

Ms. Clarke has been one of the most dedicated nurses I’ve worked with since I started working here. I remember once when we were very short-staffed, and Ms. Clarke had already worked her four-day week, she offered to come in an extra day. Any time the unit is short on nurses and we call Ms. Clarke, she comes in, even if it’s just for eight hours. She loves her job and remains dedicated. Nursing isn’t just about coming to work and doing what you learned in school, but it is about having a passion for what you do and applying yourself every time to make sure the patients come first.

Ms. Clarke goes above and beyond every time to make sure excellent care is given to our patients. She does countless amounts of overtime and overall brings joy to her unit. She is a true DAISY Nurse.
