Raluca was nominated by 5 patient family members:
"Raluca was my family's angel. She provided excellent, skilled, compassionate, empathetic care to my father and my entire family. When we all knew it was time to let my Dad go, we knew Raluca needed to be our nurse as our Dad died. Raluca stayed at our side and made sure that my dad had no suffering nor distress as we removed him from life-sustaining measures. I am also a nurse. I have witnessed the best and the worst of nursing both professionally and personally. Raluca defines the ultimate best! I will never forget her involvement in one of the most difficult times my family will ever experience."
