Tara demonstrates the characteristics of an ideal nurse. She has both bedside and textbook knowledge. Not only did she care for me, she educated me along the way. This is something that modern technology has strayed away from, the physical part of nursing and caring. It was a blessing and honor to be cared for by Tara. I had to spend New Year's Eve in the hospital but she made me feel as though I was home being cared for by my family. Tara is performing her job above and beyond her scope and she is wonderful for it.
