Jennifer went out of her way to get me snacks and really made my stay at this hospital much easier!
Thank you so much, Jennifer Jafari. You turned a depressing stay into an enjoyable one.

When I felt hopeless and lost, when I was really feeling my delirium, she kindly and thoughtfully assured me it was going to be okay and that she was going to get me some IV Valium and a heightened dose of oral Librium and oral valium. After she did this, I started feeling better by a significant amount!

I was able to feel comfortable enough to speak about my past trauma and how I became an alcoholic, and she went above and beyond the call of duty and not only took care of me physically, emotionally, and intellectually. Jennifer went out of her way to get me snacks and really made my stay at this hospital much easier! She is the best nurse I have ever had, and that says a lot because I have been to several.

I am so grateful for her and her outstanding care that she has given to me. It was so comforting and supportive to have had these deep internal conversations with her. I will never forget how you (Jennifer) were there for me and were there to talk about my feelings when no one else (was), including my friends and family. You are a rockstar nurse and your sweet, gentle, sincere, kindness will be remembered for the rest of my life.

You’re a compassionate, intelligent, down-to-earth, and 5-star quality nurse who deserves all the love in the world. Our bonding gave me some actual hope for life and gave me more motivation for sobriety/recovery.

Thank you, thank you! I wish I could hug you for all the hard work you’ve done. You’re amazing! I love you, Jen, for your hard work!
