November 2013 Honoree
taryn burgess, RN
This surgery is a slow healing process, ugh, but thank you! Taryn was so dedicated to my health and general well being for simple things like making sure I could reach the tray, my water, nurse button, etc. She explained my medical care and medications in terms I could understand. I was in soooo much pain when the nerve block wore off, and it just kept getting worse, it was a horrible experience! It was as if Taryn was channeling herself through me because I could swear she felt my pain. Although she was crazy busy that night, you'd never know it because she was always there for me. She is such a professional example of the kindness and dedication that we expect from a nurse that truly seems to love her job. BTW, by sunrise, she had found the right combo of medications that finally got my pain under control. :)
Thank you, Taryn, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
