Ryan is such a pleasant nurse to be around. He ALWAYS has a great attitude, and you can usually count on him smiling or singing and making the whole surgery team laugh. He is tender and gentle with patients and I was impressed to observe him talking to one of the surgery patients going through anesthesia. This could be a very scary experience without such a soothing presence. He is very kind and welcoming to students and he just really makes everyone feel so comfortable in the OR, which is a place that can be extremely intimidating. I cannot commend him enough; Ryan is genuinely an Extraordinary Nurse and deserves all the credit and recognition in the world.
