Stephanie made me feel more like a good friend or family, her kindness and ease made me feel confident going into surgery.
Stephanie was absolutely the best nurse that I have had. She explained every detail of what she was doing and what to expect regarding my procedure. I had a friend with me that day, who is a retired RN. My friend just kept saying how impressed she was with Stephanie. We talked about her halfway back to Franklin, NC. You are lucky to have a nurse who is so caring and makes a nervous patient feel so comfortable and at ease. That is not all, she was able to just stick me one time, which never happens.

Stephanie came in and was so caring and helped my stress level decrease. She got it first try. She came back several times to check on me and was so caring. she has a great personality and deserves a big thank you.

I had surgery on my right foot on Friday. Stephanie was my nurse that morning and she came in all smiles, talking, going about her job, but she was different. She made me feel more like a good friend or family, her kindness and ease made me feel confident going into surgery. As I was taken from the room to surgery she told me that she would be waiting for me when I got back. She was. She went out of her way to help me, I was very sick to my stomach and my pain was terrible, one nurse said it would get better, but Stephanie finally said she was calling my doctor, she did and gave me morphine, waited for it to help my pain, which it didn't and she called the doctor again, another dose didn't help so she called the doctor again and they decided to put a block in before I even tried to come home. I felt like Stephanie went above and beyond her job to help me and my husband that day while it was 5 or 6 PM when I started home. Her kindness, love, and compassion showed more than anyone I saw that day. Stephanie is what a true caring nurse should be to everyone. Her personality and heart are very caring and real.
