This young lady took care of a very close family friend of ours. We, as any family wanted to be there at his bedside and know every detail. The majority of the family has minimal to no medical background. This young lady was patient and kind. She did not even leave his bedside to take care of her own needs. She explained thoroughly and patiently his medical condition despite whether it was good or bad news. She prepared the family for any changes that could and indeed did occur. I never once saw her appear put out despite being very busy with all the life-saving measures implemented and the constant monitoring and charting. She interacted and joked with us like she had known us all her life. She was one of us. This young lady gave her all despite the outcome, which in turn made the outcome easier to accept knowing she gave all she had. She exhibited unconditional love and selflessness. We would offer to buy her lunch and we often thanked her and she would humbly reply "that is why I am here - to help him". Please recognize her in honor of our friend. She is definitely A+ Nurse, non-biased, loving, caring and determined to give her best.

Awesome RN! You can tell she takes pride in her job. Took very good care of my mother in law.

It really shows that she loves her job. Compassionate, friendly, hardworking! She came in and introduced herself to all of us. We really loved having her today!

On the worst day I could imagine, losing my son, she took such precious and thoughtful care of him and the rest of my family. She took the time to make him look his best and made sure to keep us informed and comforted the entire time.
