Jessie takes the time to get to know her patients on a personal level along with their family members. The compassion she shows for her patients is appreciated.
The week after completing my chemo I had become very nauseous and was struggling with diarrhea. Jessie Roesler was one of those nurses who stood out for her compassion, empathy, and humor during the most difficult time during my stay. Even when she was not assigned as my primary nurse she would stop by to visit and check on my status. She was so attentive when I was at my sickest stage she became instrumental in helping me stay ahead of the nauseousness. One example of her humor was when she wore her NDSU socks so everyone could see them. She told me she thought it would brighten the day and wanted to show her team spirit for the upcoming NDSU game and that maybe she would start a new ritual and others would do the same. Her uplifting attitude brings a smile to everyone who interacts with her.
She is the type of nurse you want on a unit that deals with some of the most difficult diagnoses. Her positive attitude is contagious and her smile is infectious! She takes the time to get to know her patients on a personal level along with their family members. The compassion she shows for her patients is appreciated. My heart is full of gratitude for what you do and thank you for being there for our community during these challenging times!

Jessie Roesler is truly the cream of the crop. Not only does she have a sunny demeanor but she is also very professional and a true team player. Jessie always asks really great questions that will ultimately lead to better patient care and she does it with positive intent. Just the other day Jessie was asking if the staff in the ER and ICU had received information about a newer cancer treatment we have been seeing. We have been seeing more side effects with it and there is a lot of risk involved with administration. We recently had a patient present to the ER with this medication running via a pump and eventually get admitted to 7S and she was worried that staff maybe didn't have the information they needed to safely care for this patient. Jessie is also very willing to step up when the team needs her, even if that means volunteering for a night shift last minute when a CCL gets sick. If I could clone Jessie, I would. You can never have too many people like her on your team.
