Just that conversation alone helped me forget about being in the hospital and not just a patient but a person.
I was in the hospital a second time for my UC flare up, and this time, my internal bleeding would not stop. I had a round of nurses but the one that stood out to me the most was Kate. The room always felt warm and cozy when she walked in, making me feel so much better about my situation. She always explained what medications she was giving me and what they did for me, making me feel more confident about the healing process. One day, when it was slow, she sat down and had a conversation with me. Asking me about my kids and what I do for a living. Telling me about her family and why she got into nursing. Just that conversation alone helped me forget about being in the hospital and not just a patient but a person. I know everyone who receives care from Kate will be showered with love during their stay as she did for me. Words to describe Kate - Compassionate, Considerate, Loving, and Kind.
