My mom (age 70) got admitted to CRMC with an ammonia level of 208. She was almost in a coma. Once admitted they transferred her to the 6th floor. Amber has been her night shift nurse and I can’t begin to brag on her enough. She has been a light in what seems to be a dark hole we have been consumed by. Amber comes in every night with a smile to say "Hello" to let us know she has to get reports and will see us soon. The positive energy felt when she walks into the room is so comforting. Amber has always been attentive and compassionate even when my mom was just talking to be talking, not once has she dismissed my mother or acted better than. I am truly stunned at the genuine concern and compassion she has for her patients. Amber seems to remember why she chose her profession and that her patients are someone’s loved one. Amber was and has been informative on my mother’s condition, she keeps us up to date which is something I am appreciative of since I am not a healthcare professional. Amber has been very patient and understanding with my mom and with our family members. She always asks if we need anything and helps whenever requested. It is truly an answered prayer to have an amazing nurse, especially since the hospital is the best place anyone wants to be. And trust me we are not here by choice. Amber’s spirit is strong and she is a true advocate for her patients. I am truly blessed to have been given the opportunity to watch her in action with Mom. Amber has given me hope that there are still good humans left on Earth who genuinely care for others and their well-being. Please, Amber, do not ever change. We need more light in a dark world.

What else can I say about Amber-awesome, fantastic nurse that was very caring and a ray of sunshine that lift Mom up even though she was very sick with high ammonia levels and elevated potassium levels and was 70 years old? She treated Mom as if it was her own and is very deserving of this award. An excellent nurse you are very fortunate to have. We appreciate her very much for taking excellent care of our mom.
