Bonnie is an excellent nurse. So caring and upbuilding.
Bonnie is awesome. She proactively expects my needs. She makes sure I am hydrated. Our first interaction was a time I was about to freak out about issues with my meds and she was able to calm me down like no other. I truly feel Bonnie is “happy to help”.
***
Bonnie is very compassionate and understanding with me. I was nervous to be here and she made me feel very welcomed and like I am not alone. She goes above and beyond every day by caring for me and 3 others. She is a very good listener and gives great feedback. I am very grateful for her and she is the kind of person that is perfect for this job!

Bonnie was one of the first nurses I encountered and she was super nice to me. She was courteous, kind, professional, empathetic, and extremely helpful. She has been that way throughout my time here, even when I was moved to a room that supplies oxygen. She was still there and as courteous and sincere as if we just met. I really think this nurse exemplifies the core value of respect. Thank you with love.
***
She was very nice to me and made me feel important to her and was super mother-like. She was very helpful and sweet.
***
She is always so kind and encouraged me to do something (play cards) that made me a little nervous but in a way that wasn’t pushy or uncomfortable. She always has my meds on time and is willing to help in any way she can. I Love Bonnie!
***
Bonnie took the time, more than once during both my stays here. She recognizes individual needs and is the only person in this world who has ever been able to talk me down from fight or flight and explain how it biologically works. She spent time doing guided meditation while I was having flashbacks, brought me tea and warm blankets when I was upset in my room and has taught me so much about the biology of my symptoms. Bonnie goes above and beyond as a caregiver and makes us feel we really matter.
***
She is young yet knowledge-oriented. Forced a half-hour to sit while my Vitamin B infusion flowed through an IV Pump. She was a calming and relaxing conversationalist, in juxtaposition to my, at times, excitable ranting and ravings. All very appreciated.
***
Bonnie was my nurse for most of my stay on 3 South. She was upbeat from the moment she walked in until she left at night. She is kind and gentle but also is not afraid to gently steer you toward groups. I found her very easy to talk to which says something because I don’t talk to just anyone. I also thought that it was really nice that she checks in with her patients multiple times a day just to see how they are feeling. I truly believe that Bonnie is exactly where she is supposed to be. She has touched so many others on their healing journey.
***
Bonnie was my day nurse for a couple of days. She showed so much empathy and respect while caring for me. She loves to make sure she’s done everything she can for me. I felt comfortable with her because she was very verbal and would make sure I knew I could talk to her and could always cheer me up. She was very caring and knowledgeable about so much. I enjoyed the conversations. I’m so happy I got Bonnie as a nurse. She helped me when feeling anxious and could calm me down by talking and strived so hard at being there for me. Thank you!

Bonnie is an excellent nurse. So caring and upbuilding. She has supported me so much with her training which she may not have been trained for it but she gave me affirmations and help every day. I thank God for her.
Note: This is Bonnie's 3rd DAISY Award!
