Andrea is one of the most amazing and caring nurses I have ever come across. Although my father was in a coma and non-responsive she spoke to him as though he could answer her at any moment. She cared about his appearance and about his comfort. She took the time to make sure she cut his facial hair properly, combed his hair and was just so caring. She continually went above and beyond for both my dad and for our entire family. Her manner is caring and loving and she continued to check on us even when she was assigned to other patients. She came out of her way to speak to us and console us after we had to make the difficult decision to remove life support. I will never forget her amazing professionalism.
