Cassi made a point to talk to me and keep me company because I didn't have family that lived really close to come and see me daily.
Cassi was my night nurse from the day I checked in until the night before I was discharged. She saw me at my absolute worst on the night I was admitted. I was screaming in terrible back pain from spasms from 6 pm until 1 am. She did everything she could to continue to work with the doctors to change my medicine to find some relief so that I could get out of the bed and into a recliner, which was a better place for me rather than in bed with my back. She heard me scream and curse and call every name in the book and just tried to talk to me and do whatever she could to take my mind off of my pain.
She also worked with her team to find a recliner for me somewhere in the hospital and he hunted one down for me. She constantly checked on me to make sure that I was on top of my pain and just came in to talk to me daily to see how I was. She made a point to talk to me and keep me company because I didn't have family that lived really close to come and see me daily. She was a fantastic nurse, and Cassi and her team were one of the best I've ever experienced in a hospital setting!
