I wanted to share a few words of gratitude about Stephanie. She without a doubt has been the best nurse I've ever seen. My husband coded and she was so quick to start CPR and call for a response team to give him every chance to live. As I write this letter he is still alive and getting better. Stephanie is not only a good nurse to my husband but she has been very honest with me about his chances and doesn't sugar coat what is going on but gives you hope. She has made me feel like she is part of my family and she really cares about my husband. The day he coded I know of lost it and fell apart and after she got him stable she came to me and hugged me and said some very sweet and comforting things to me. I would give her a medal if I could but I can let her know that I appreciate her by telling you and anyone that will listen that she is awesome and she has been a blessing to me and my family. She goes way above her duties.
