Shelley established a special connection with my brother and me while he was in the ICU. My brother was on a ventilator for several days then extubated. He could barely get up and sit in a chair but with her help and enthusiastic outstanding professional care he was able to walk around the nurse’s station with all kinds of tubes hanging from him. He was also very confused but Shelley maintained great interpersonal skills with him to get through this period. She is an excellent nurse and a great role model for the profession.
