Tess is a caring and kind nurse. The care of her patients is always a top priority. Recently on her day off, Tess came in to take care of a sexual assault patient. The patient required time to get sober before the exam and rather than leaving, Tess stayed to help the patient and the department, by staying overnight in an open bed and then did the SANE case the next morning. This is just one example of her going above and beyond for her patients and coworkers. Tess takes excellent care of patients, is knowledgeable, and always has a bright attitude in the department. I can’t think of anyone I would rather have to take care of a member of my family more than her. Thank you, Tess, for all you do every day!
