Naomi was my nurse for three nights. She was awesome! She went the extra mile, always making sure to check on me every couple of hours. She has that extra special something that lets you know this is not just a job to her. It's obvious how much she cares. When I had a cramp in my foot, she rubbed it, not once, but several times. I woke up one morning to find Naomi holding my hand and praying. That was very special! She always took thetime to talk to me, never seemed in a hurry to get to the next patient. All my nurses were great, but Naomi stood out from the rest. She definitely deserves this DAISY Award.

Naomi is a sensitive, professional caregiver. She has been understanding of my loss of my husband of 41 years. He was my rock for all of our years together. It is traumatic to wake daily to find him gone, but it is especially hard to be in the hospital without him holding my hand and offering his always positive love and encouragement. Naomi talked about the loss of my husband being an emotional pain; it was comforting to hear!

Naomi was a guardian angel! She was in every hour to check on me, helping me turn and keeping me clean and comfortable. She is a very professional RN.
