Bradley Hudson is not only an outstanding nurse when it comes to nursing skills, his manner with patients, especially the elderly in his care, is something very special. He is unfailingly patient and gentle, while using his sense of humor and good nature to put patients at ease. Patients will frequently ask if he is working first thing in the morning, and I have had the pleasure on many occasions of seeing their mood and spirits improve throughout the shift as he gives them encouragement and keeps them laughing.
