Taylor has always been a strong compassionate nurse, but in this instance, she went above and beyond. A family had dropped off an 8-year-old granddaughter to an elderly patient's and left her overnight. Taylor provided care to the child with a bed, etc., but more than that, the child lost her first tooth. The patient had no money, so Taylor took her last $4 from her purse and put it under the pillow of the child for the "tooth fairy". She went above and beyond to help the patient care for the child at the bedside.
