Citlali should be recognized for the extraordinary compassion and dedication she demonstrated while caring for a young patient with a devastating cancer diagnosis. Her actions went far beyond the expected duties of a nurse- they reflected the deep personal commitment she has for her patients. During one of the most emotionally difficult times in a patient's life, she did not just provide medical care; she offered her heart. She sat beside the patient and cried with her. She saw her as more than just a patient and treated her as a mother, a person. When the patient expressed a desire to leave something behind for her 4-year-old daughter, Citlali offered to help her make a scrapbook filled with photos and letters. She even planned to come in on her day off to help encourage and be there for her patient while making it. She rallied the team to gather donations for a comfort basket, filled with thoughtful items for the patient and her young daughter. Her compassion and presence make a difference that cannot be missed. She embodies the very best of nursing. She reminds me of why we all chose this profession.
