She is an Extraordinary Nurse. She cared for my spiritual, physical, and emotional needs, with both skill and confidence. She treated me with a unique skill set and humble confidence. She taught me about my health and helped me support health decisions. She took an active/proactive, genuinely interested professional role in my overall well-being. Truly listened to me and made sure my needs were met during my care. She provided the most expertise and necessary adjustments (ongoing) in my continuum of care ensuring my needs were met. She listened, heard, and applied both efficiently and effectively. She worked with me, my family, my support system, and my care team to help me heal. She exemplified during her shift, both flexible and accommodating expertise, in her dignified handling of me as if I were her only patient. She truly made me feel special. She made me feel safe under her care. She was ever cognoscente of two significant dynamics which completely guided my life. There are three levels of autism on the aggregate: high functioning, medium functioning (I am 1 degree into 2=med functioning), and low functioning. On a scale of 1-10, on the PTSD scale, I am at level 10. Speaking from only my personal experience and interactions with her, in my humble opinion, one could not feel any more safe than being under her watch. She made me feel both truly cared for and respected as a person. This is impossible not to observe from both one's initial and ongoing interactions with her. Please acknowledge her for this amazing set of contributions by bestowing on her this award at my personal request. Thank you.
