Despite how busy her day is, she can be found talking with her patients and their families creating a special bond.
Tina always goes above and beyond for her patients. She created “Tina’s treasures” which is a designated closet on 4B that she supplies with various patient needs. Reading glasses, personal care items, and clothing are just a few items that can be found there when in stock. She has taken patient clothing home to wash and brought them back, so they had clean clothes to wear home. She recently brought a special patient a ring, which he wore proudly and showed everyone who walked in the room. She does all these things without wanting any special gratification from staff or patients. Despite how busy her day is, she can be found talking with her patients and their families creating a special bond. She is a true example of how special nurse-patient relationships can be. I am proud to work alongside her and see how many lives she touches each day.
