As a student nurse, I witnessed Bre take care of her patients with dignity and grace. No matter how sick her patients were she treated them as a whole and respectfully. In intense situations, she remained calm and was always delicate to the patient and family she was providing care for. She is a team player and is always positive. Recently, I was asked to help Bre clean up a patient and while doing so I took notice to her sweet demeanor and fun personality with this specific patient. She clearly had taken time to converse and get to know this patient, which really stood out to me as this patient was alone and very limited in what they were able to do for themselves. Bre made the patient smile even though the patient was in a very fragile situation. I saw her comfort and give her patient above average treatment, by the emotional support she provided over the physical.
