Vibien always goes beyond the requirements of her job! Vibien uses her vast knowledge, personal experience, and caring heart to make it possible for long-time patients like me to not only survive but regain their health. Vibien shows her caring heart by a smile and a willingness to share her own tough experiences and how she has overcome a myriad of life's challenges. The garden she created is a symbolic peaceful place that reflects her spirits. She somehow understood that sharing stories of her family and her travels was what this patient needed. Her personal stories will always remain in my heart. Vibien's cancer survival is another life experience she generously shared with me. Hearing her tell her courageous battle gave me hope and inspiration. As my departure day nears, Vibien described a post-hospital therapy plan which is exactly what I need but hadn't realized it until the need was lovingly clarified by this insightful nurse. Vibien is the nurse every patient needs, she is conscientious, patient, and quick to understand. Even when she wasn't assigned my case, she checked in on me. Vibien exemplifies the best possible nursing skills and the caring heart to save lives and give her fortunate patients hope as they regain their health with this angel's profound support.
