Natalie is an excellent nurse who always goes the extra mile to provide a safe, caring, and relaxing environment for her patients. She has the wonderful ability to decrease anxiety in pre-operative and peri-operative patients through her knowledge, calming demeanor, and genuine smile. Because of Natalie's surgical expertise by surgeons to circulate their rooms and also by staff members who require surgery for themselves or their loved ones. She has a high regard for peri-operative safety and keeps current on advances in the surgical suite as they apply to her practice. I have worked with Natalie for over 14 years and wholeheartedly endorse her for a DAISY Award. Natalie exemplifies a 5-star nurse!! (And she has great taste in music!)
