Melissa Hale is an exceptional nurse who went above and beyond the call of duty. She exemplifies how a nurse cares for her patient. She was knowledgeable about my case and showed so much compassion for her job. She assisted me to the restroom and before I got back to bed, she took that extra time to do exercises with me to strengthen my legs so that I would be able to walk again on my own. Numerous times she held my hand and held me as I cried. She is a true angel and I will never forget the quality care she gave me.
