Nurse Christy Whetstone was nominated by several patients that could not say enough about her as a nurse and a person. Some of these comments and stories are as follows:
"She makes people laugh and is a really good nurse. She did a great job with everything and made sure I comfortable even though I was in pain."

"She is the happiest nurse I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She jokes around and makes you feel comfortable and at ease. The world needs more nurses like her and she greatly deserves this award."

"I can literally see people light up when she is around. She is very positive and caring and I can notice a change in the atmosphere when she is working. She is an amazing nurse and definably deserves this award."

"As far as I am concerned, she is the best. Her heart is in her work which means she cares. She sure made me feel more relaxed with her personality and even stayed longer to make sure I was going to get the care I needed."

"Christy had a patient in ER who was very upset. She soon found out from the patient's caregiver that she loves having birthday songs sung to her. Christy happened to have party hats and whistles in her vehicle. So she took the time to go get them and she surprised the patient by dressing up and going in and singing happy birthday to her. The patient's eyes lit up and she was so happy! It was one of the sweetest gestures ever."
