I had tears in my eyes when she said goodbye because I was so upset I would likely never see her again.
Tiffany went above and beyond for my care in all of the right ways. She checked on me at any given minute, and she had conversations with me about myself, my future, and my family. Tiffany worked hard to meet my needs, and she responded to every single call and need that I had, no matter what she was doing. She explained every single medication to me. When the doctor would change my dressings, she would hold my hand or rub my head to make sure I was as comfortable as can be. At 22 years old, I faced a very large and gruesome surgery that I was not mentally or physically ready for. Tiffany reassured me that it would be okay and that I was in the right care. Tiffany was my nurse for five days, and every day I loved her more. I had tears in my eyes when she said goodbye because I was so upset I would likely never see her again. She related to me in a way that made me feel more like family than a patient. She worked well with my family and me, she made sure I was doing fine, and she really reassured me so often that I would come out of this on the right side.
