I am a patient, wife, daughter, friend, and social worker. I usually have a great attitude and I love helping others. It is very difficult for me to lose all this control and need help from others. Janine Perez is by far one of the best nurses. She went above and beyond and exceeded all expectations. She shared short personal experiences every time I needed emotional support. She was able to tell me about local doctors and hospitable local resources that can help me. She showed such caring and compassion during my few days with her. She was always the "mom" who knows just what to say that assures you that you are going to be ok. She is like a bouquet of daisies so this award is aptly named for Janine. She has been doing this for 40 years and she has the love and compassion as if it is her first day. Submitted with such respect and appreciation.
