My mom was admitted for 9 days. During that week, Ashley came in as her nurse a few days. She was the most compassionate, friendly nurse mom ever had. Eventually, the doctor said there nothing else that could be done for Mom, and Palliative care was called in. Ashley was in the room when the doctor told me that and she saw how upset I was and stayed with me a few minutes to comfort me. She truly cares for her patients, and on the day it came time to start the morphine drip, Ashley worked her shift, checking on us constantly. She stayed with us for an hour or so after her shift, listening to my sisters and me telling stories of Mom. She said when she got up the next morning she immediately called to check on Mom, she came to work, and was with us most of the morning. Around 11:35 am she came running in the room to check the monitor, Mom's heart rate was dropping fast. Within 6 minutes mom passed away, with me sitting on the bed, her grandkids beside her, and Ashley standing with us. Ashley is a very special person with a calling for nursing, she is dedicated, passionate, and very caring. She is now considered a member of our family. You have an asset in her.
