Wanda Turner, RN, BSN

It was my dad's first day on 1 West. He had a stroke while on the swing bed at NMMC-Iuka. He was fine when he was transferred to 1 West the night before. During the day, his condition worsened. He could not stand, speak, or participate in any therapy. He was later identified as having an electrolyte imbalance. When I got there, and daddy had recovered, he cried telling me how kind Wanda had been to him. She never left his side, doted on him, and cared for him like he was her family. He has been in four different hospitals over 6 1/2 weeks and we have not encountered another nurse as kind and attentive as Mrs. Wanda.
