I thanked a Nurse today

Published

My Mom fell and broke her hip and needed a partial hip replacement. Today she was released back to the NH and when we went to get her stuff that the ambulance forgot to bring back to the NH I told the nurse thank you and I appreciated all she did for my Mom. She said it was her pleasure and told us to have a Merry Christmas.

I know she was doing her job but it only takes a minute to say thank you.

And I'm sure YOUR "thank you' was most appreciated by her!

We don't nurse looking for thank yous, but they sure make it a lot easier.

Perhaps you could put it in writing and let her employer know too?

God bless you and yours! I'm sure your comment went a long way with the nurse. :cat:
