She sounds like an amazing, caring person. I'd love to have her as my nurse as well...

I felt very comfortable talking with her too, just not something I am used to either. I wish I could have reached thru the phone and given her a hug lol.

It's wonderful to meet people like that, especially when they are someone that cares for others all day long. And after 32 years and still having so much compassion you know that is an awesome person....... the world would be a much better place filled with the caring and compassion of someone like that

Gee after 32 years, dealing with a frustrating patient who is confused and pulling out things, she still has a great attitude. It can be done.

Sometimes we never learn how much we affect everyone, including patients.....It is stories like yours that probably make that nurse still in the game after all these years...Thanks for taking the time to tell all of us how she affected you....

I had surgery on my foot about a month ago, andbeing a nurse myself, I was interested to see what type of care I would receive. I had THE nicest nurse I have ever come across!! When I went in for surgery, her shift hadn't started yet. All the other nurses there were excellent, too, but this one was above and beyond all my expectations. When the anesthesia was wearing off, I was very ill and just wasn't myself at all. (Those of you who have ever had general anesthesia can relate! :) ) She was right there every time I need something, never once making me feel like I was taking up her valuable time. She made me feel like I was her only concern. (I was the only patient left in Short Stay Surgery at that time, as it was into the evening by the time I got to leave.) Anyway, she just had this way about her that would comfort anyone. :kiss It would be nice if all nurses were like that, but then, it would be a perfect world, and that isn't going to happen anytime soon. Anyway, after the surgery was all done, I sent them a compliment letter, and gave them all the highest ratings on the survey they sent me. Just wanted to share my story, thanks!!!!

I think that's really nice but you're even nicer for posting this.

Very uplifting indeed!

Luvbug, I hope you wrote a letter to the hospital administrator, recommending she get "Employee of the Month" or a recognition award. Sometimes we forget to recognize those special people, and they never get the benefits of being good (except for the warm fuzzy feeling inside). :grin: Make her day!
