Faith has demonstrated exactly what good care looks like!
Being hospitalized is a stressful and scary time. COVID is no exception. All nurses are heroes, no doubt about it! For me, it was helping me through my darkest days while in isolation, sad, scared, and alone, not knowing my fate. Being kept from my wife and children was heartbreaking albeit necessary. During these dark days, Faith was more than a nurse. She was the ray of sunlight that I needed to cope. She prayed with me on several occasions helping to strengthen my faith in God. She even came to see me while not assigned to me to pray with me. Though this was not the end of my journey in the hospital, it helped inspire me to find Jesus! I was baptized on Palm Sunday, gave my life to Christ, and have been forever changed! As I have said before, all nurses are heroes! I don’t believe they get the recognition they deserve for doing what they do! Nobody signed up for COVID, but somebody had to do it, and that’s where our nurses shine. Faith has demonstrated exactly what good care looks like! I wish all the nurses I encountered could have been like her. This is a Godly hospital, and in times of need, we need heroes like these every day! As I move forward and put this difficult time in the rear view, I will never forget the care your team gave to me!
