Sarah is the type of nurse who is caring and professional. I've asked countless questions of her since admission and not one time has she made me feel like I was getting on her nerves. Sarah has excellent people skills and always leaves me feeling better just by being in her presence. She has made me feel comfortable in ways I can't express in words. It's a scary feeling when you can't breathe especially when you feel like there is an elephant sitting on your chest. She was able to talk me through everything and speak to me with human kindness.
I've been obese and most of my life I've been belittled not only by words but also by looks. Not for one second have I felt this from anyone at WakeMed. I will never forget Sarah as long as I live. She is truly an outstanding nurse.

I want to express my gratitude for Sarah's bedside manner, quality of care, the extra time she invested to answer all the questions I had, fulfill my requests, and liaise with my physicians all while caring for her other patients. She was extremely responsive, observant of my condition, and cheerful. Sarah's presence puts me at ease despite my concern regarding my illness.
