All my fears melted away when Christine helped me understand that the adjustments I had to make really weren't scary at all.
I was admitted to Palos with low sodium count. The next day I was very nervous, confused, and afraid of what was happening to me and how I was going to deal with it all. Then, I was blessed with Nurse Christine H. Christine explained my test results. She truly helped me understand what was going on with my body. Then, she carefully and thoughtfully explained the changes I needed to make to give myself a healthier life when I go home. She really cared about me. She helped me comprehend my new intake plan. All my fears melted away when she helped me understand that the adjustments I had to make really weren't scary at all. Nurse Christine has a lovely sense of humor and was so easy to talk to. She was caring, kind, and compassionate. She is an amazing example of a strong woman who truly loves her job and is excellent at it. I truly appreciate her.
