When I was admitted I was placed in a room that brought back memories of a previous difficult hospitalization. I thought I would be okay but once my family left, I began to panic. I called my nurse who sat at my bedside, listened to my story, was reassuring, and immediately made arrangements for another room. Once I was moved, this nurse stayed with me until I felt comfortable. She continued to check on me frequently, always had a smile, and explained everything well.
