She was my cheerleader, she coaxed me, gave me emotional support, encouraged me, and promised me each day would get better and easier.
Natalie was just so awesome. To start with, I did not want to be at Soin. My sister was on the COVID unit last August and she did not enjoy her experience. I also did not want to go to another network because my other sister just died there from COVID. But the squad brought me here and said I could be transferred if needed to Kettering.

So I was already in a panic mode coming to this hospital but since admission, I truly cannot complain about any of the staff. Every single staff including housekeeping and X-ray has been great. I was in so much pain and Natalie was quick to answer my light and medicate me promptly. She came in with a friendly and caring smile. She would ask me what she could do for me to make me feel better. She was easy to talk with. I cried in the beginning all the time, I didn’t feel like I was progressing enough. She was my cheerleader, she coaxed me, gave me emotional support, encouraged me, and promised me each day would get better and easier. I know she truly cared for my well-being. She was Johnny on the Spot. She answered my questions and questions my family asked her. I felt safe and cared for by Natalie. Natalie would explain ahead of time what she was going to do. She explained my medication and made a plan to keep up with my pain level. She assessed me physically from head to toe. She is approachable and easy to talk to. Gave me tissues and a hug when I cried.

Again, all my nurses were good, but Natalie topped them. Her friendliness and promptness have certainly changed my mind about Soin. I have shared my experience with all my friends and family. This nurse was my angel in human form when I needed her so much. I wish every nurse was like her.
