July 2021 Honoree
Victoria T Smith, RN
My nurse was so down-to-earth and so caring. Always checking on me and would just knock and peek in my room and ask, “Are you good or do you need anything?” and “Please call me if you do.” She was always smiling and happy and she took her time with me. She would sit and talk with me if it was needed. She was just outstanding and wonderful, and I was blessed to have her. She made a great impression on me and was very caring.
I had to take Potassium Pills several times a day and was having a hard time swallowing them. She took the time with me and dissolved each pill for me, melting it in water for me to be able to get them down. Sometimes it was three or four times a day and she would have to melt each one with multiple water trips etc. She never got frustrated with me and took the time to spend and make sure I was able to get all of my medicine down. I used to be a CNA and I know how busy nurses are and it really means a lot to me that she was so caring. All of my nurses were great, but Taylor was just outstanding, and I really am glad she was my nurse for two days.
