I've never so much as given a review positive or negative in my life. In submission of this nomination, I hope that it shows the impact Brynn had on me in the brief time I was in her care. I was a patient for two nights and was going through alcohol withdrawals. I have had an anxiety disorder and panic attacks since I was 17 and am very familiar with the ~15 minutes of dissociation and feeling of looming doom involved so after an hour long panic attack hadn't ended I called an ambulance. My first 12 hours in the hospital were horrible. My nausea was tolerable but even though I was getting medication the anxiety was not and felt like I was in a panic attack that would never end. That is until shift change and Brynn took over. She entered, introducing herself and that she would be taking care of me. She came to my bedside, looked me in my eyes, and grabbed my hands. In a moment I've thought about daily since discharge, and I'll never forget; she paused and simply said, "Don't worry, you're going to be okay." I'm not sure if it was her tone or something else. Where no medication had worked, her ability to connect, and her confident reassurance instantly gave me relief. I felt like I could breathe again, and for the first time since arrival, I actually believed that I would be okay. Afterward, I told her that the medication I had been getting wasn't doing anything, and through trial, she finally found one that did. As the day went on, her continued reassurance and presence were my solace, and my only complaint was that she was not scheduled the next day. Although she checks all the boxes and is more of a highly competent nurse, that's not why I nominate Brynn. She has intangibles that cannot be taught, and that I believe should be the pinnacle of nursing that all should aspire for. To be able to care without medicine and to comfort without drugs. I will never forget her kindness, and if up to me, I'd never want anyone else to look after a loved one.
