During a very difficult time for our family, Tabitha made a lasting impact on both our father and all of us. After undergoing emergency surgery, our father was admitted to the C3 unit, where Tabitha cared for him for 2 days. Despite a busy unit and a challenging shift, she remained consistently upbeat, kind, and compassionate. Her friendly demeanor and calm presence brought comfort and reassurance at a time when we needed it most. Our dad is a strong-willed and stubborn man, someone who rarely even takes Tylenol, let alone anything stronger. Tabitha never pressured him, but rather gently reminded him that pain relief was available whenever he was ready. Her patient and respectful approach meant a great deal to him and helped build trust that ultimately led him to accept the care he needed.

Tabitha not only cared for our father with skill and grace but also supported our entire family. She made it possible for us to be with him before visiting hours began, allowing us to provide emotional support and be present when doctors rounded. These seemingly small gestures made a world of difference to our father and to us. When he finally agreed to take Tylenol, Tabitha arrived in moments with the medication, ensuring we didn't lose the opportunity. Later, when he asked for something stronger for pain, there was no order in place, but Tabitha quickly contacted the provider, obtained the necessary approval, and had the medication in hand within minutes. Her responsiveness and advocacy ensured that our father received the care he needed without delay.

Our entire family is deeply grateful for the compassion, professionalism, and attentiveness that Tabitha showed during our father's stay. She is an exceptional nurse who not only provides excellent clinical care but also creates a comforting and supportive environment for patients and families alike.
