It was shared by a patient that Riley is an outstanding nurse; for the first time in the patient’s lifetime, he was moved to comment about the services received from another person. The patient's wife, a long-time RN, had the same opinion of Riley and the care she provided. The patient shared that Riley is a remarkable young lady and a wonderful nurse.

In addition to this, Riley received a nomination for going above and beyond for a patient she was caring for. The patient was given information on how to register to receive Meals on Wheels. Riley, concerned for the patient’s welfare beyond the hospital setting, took the time and registered the patient to assure they received the Meals on Wheels herself. Nursing leadership consistently receives positive feedback from patients and families that Riley cares for.
