Erin sat with the patient, who was waiting for her ride home outside, for just over two hours and made it seem as though she was just visiting. She spoke with her about discharge instructions and ways to care for her surgical site. She simply did not want the woman to have to wait alone. Moments like this truly highlight what an extraordinary nurse Erin is.
