​​​​​​​Her professionalism as well as her compassion goes above and beyond, also it is incredibly inspirational.
She has been my nurse for multiple days during the week, which would seem like so much longer had it not been for the incredibly engaging nurse. She embodies passion and reliability when it comes to caring for her patients. Beyond her exceptional medical attitude and personality, she engages with her patients through personal and downright interesting conversations. Not to mention her absolutely relatable yet sophisticated sense of humor. With her delightful personal traits and bright personality, she can light up a room’s atmosphere just by entering the room (trust me, I found this out through personal experience.)

Aside from the wonderful personality, there comes the amazing professional attitude toward everything medically related. She is extremely go-to when it comes to caring for her patients. For example, how excited she was to switch my IV from my inner elbow to my wrist, just so she could make sure I was as comfortable as I could be, in this overwhelming hospital environment.

She also always reassured me that she would always bring my medication on time, because she hated the idea of someone laying in bed hurting or being nauseous when she knew she could do something about it.

Her professionalism as well as her compassion goes above and beyond, also it is incredibly inspirational. So many people learn from her example, I know I have for sure. She deserves the best for her work and compassion in the medical field! Everyone that has experienced her care is extremely lucky whether they know it or not!
