During my stay in IMCU I was provided care by Iryna. She was very compassionate and understanding. She did not become frustrated when she had to repeat herself as I am hard of hearing. I was a little restless and she was able to calm me down with her calmness and caring nature. She listened to my concerns and did not make me feel like a foolish, elderly man. She was very skillful and tried not to create pain when she moved me or checked dressing. She was the only nurse that was concerned that one of the IV sites was bleeding and recognized the needle had been pulled out. When I wanted to walk she was patient with me, did not rush, and assisted as needed. Upon my discharge, she took the time to come and say goodbye and give me a hug. Iryna is a devoted caring, nurse. She provides the dedication to her patient that all nurses should. She is definitely an asset to the nursing staff at SEMC.
