Gerrit was everything a nurse should be and then some. Always smiling, always professional and positive, and extremely helpful. I needed pain medication regularly, and each time Gerrit came into my room, he always had a smile on his face. I know I needed a lot from him and asked a lot of him, but he was always cheerful. He even went to the pharmacy himself when I needed two of my regular prescriptions filled, just to be sure that I got them as soon as possible. He listened carefully to everything I had to say and even shared in conversations about my family and my previous nursing career. Even though the entire staff was great, Gerrit shined above them all.
