In the month's that I have been at City of Hope, I have had many wonderful nurses. I am a very private person and it is hard for me to express my feelings to strangers. Sharon has a gift for really listening to you when you are feeling ill, alone and overwhelmed. As soon as you meet her, you know that you are in good hands. Recently she had come to visit me after her shift had ended. It was my worst day here at the hospital and Sharon spent quality time with me. She had no judgment, just encouraging words and left me feeling hopeful and relieved. She has a huge heart and compassion for your situation.

Nurse Sharon was great. She had me follow her when she was taking care of my grandpa. She demonstrated great skill and leadership and she came and checked on my grandpa very often. I could tell she cares greatly for her patients. She is also very thorough when teaching as well. I was very comfortable leaving my grandpa in the care of Nurse Sharon. I feel very thankful towards her.
