Everett went above and beyond to take care of me during his whole 12-hour shift without the assistance of an aide. He made sure I did not have to ask for anything. He made a special connection with me. He started the shift by really listening to me about my health. There was an immediate connection with each other. He ended up sharing some of his personal life with me and the struggles that he was able to overcome. This a great testimony that nurses have struggles too.  Everett was one of the most professional, caring, and thoughtful nurses I have ever met. I have been around hospitals and nurses my whole life and he deserves this award.
