She gently held me, and she prayed for me and listened and was so so so sweet.
In June, I was having suicidal thoughts and writing my suicide note, and Jill then had to put me on an M1 hold. I just started crying and rambling to her. I feel like I was in a psychotic state and started rambling to her, and she gently held me, and she prayed for me and listened and was so so so sweet. She really was just so kind to me and went above and beyond. She has an amazing bedside manner and just is so amazing that she not only is wonderful but also is so good at the STEM aspect of nursing as well!

Dear RN, I cannot thank you enough for your help, your care, the kindness and compassion you showed me. You got me to take that Xanax. You saved me in the moment, and you saved me in general. Experiencing that moment of calmness and tranquility while looking back made me realize medication isn’t evil. I was terrified of medication. Positive that if I started it, it would end my life. Now, I'm on two psychiatric meds, and I'm already seeing improvement. If you didn’t help me in the way that you did, if you did not gently guide me with your hands, I wouldn’t be here. You are incredible at your job; you are so wonderful. PLEASE continue to be your amazing self and continue saving lives
