Stephen Sarr, RN

I had been sick for a very long time before coming into the ER. I am scared of hospitals and was not looking forward to my stay after being admitted. I was moved floors a few times during my week-long stay and was treated okay but once I got to Stephen's care, my heart was at peace. He was the most gentle, soft-spoken, and caring nurse I think I have ever met in my life. He went above and beyond to help me understand all my medical issues, (which ended up being several unexpected long-term/life-changing issues).

He reassured me that I would be okay and he would be with me every step of the way while I was under his care. He kept my mind busy by asking about my family and my grandson (who is my world!). Every time he came into my room he had a smile on his face and never acted like I was a bother to him. He even made me laugh a few times during my stay, which was good for my soul. He never put me off or made me wait hours when I needed something.

My husband, who is also on oxygen and not in good health, would stay with me during the day and Stephen always made sure to check on him and explain everything he was doing to care for me. He was so patient and could tell by looking at me, some days, if I needed certain meds or if I needed to be checked on more frequently.

I truly believe I made the recovery I did because of the kind heart he has. He made me feel like family, like I was important, and that I mattered. I will forever be thankful for Stephen and the love in his heart. This man is going to do great things in his life, and I hope he always knows how much he means to everyone he cares for.
