I have watched Zachary Ly care for his patients and mentor his students and new nurses with the greatest compassion and care as a coworker. Then I got to experience his talent and respect firsthand when he cared for my 90-year-old mother with terminal cancer. The support and understanding he gave my mother, father, and me, as well as texting me updates during his shift and before he left for the day was above and beyond. I even learned something more about being a nurse with hope for the future.
