Nurses Rule

Ok...I am not a nurse but I want to let you all know how much you do for us..the patient...means. I just had a surgery (reconstructive surgery on the right zygomatic arch) on last thursday the OR nurse came into the pre-op holding area and was all, "Hi I am Colleen and I will be your OR nurse today, I will be there with you the whole time, as you go to sleep and through the whole thing. Don't worry." And while I was being put under she was there holding my hand and talking to me. Today we went back into the hospital because there was some swelling, since I am only 17 my mom was there. Well on the way to the hospital I got dizzy so we did vallet parking and when we got to the right office complex my mom really had to go to the bathroom and told me, "now if you get dizzy get on the floor" and the nurses were all, "O is she dizzy, lets get her some water and get her lying down in one of the exam rooms" so they got me a pillow, blankett, turned off the lights and let me sleep till the doc was ready (half an hour later, he had been in surgery) and while he asperated the liquid that caused the swelling one of the nurses was holding my had the whole time. I just wanted to let you guys know YOU ROCK!!!

Thank you for the kind words.

Nurses are very special people. Unique, too.

Wonderful to see posts like this. I hope you plan to pursue nursing.

Thank you!

Is this to corny of a note to send to the OR nurse i mentioned. I dont want to sound sappy but i want to let her know how much it meant to me. Just want to know what you think. if it is to much or anything.

Dear Colleen,

I was one of your patients in the OR last Thursday. I wanted to let you know how very much your kindness meant to me. From the moment you said, "I am Colleen and I will be your nurse in the OR" I felt like we had a connection and I trusted you. You saying, "I will be there with you while you go to sleep and the whole time" really made me feel special, like I matter. Then holding my hand and talking soothingly to me while Andres put me to sleep was truly calming.

I was talking to my mom yesterday about how I was feeling before the surgery. She thought I was going to be really scared and would need her to go with me in to the OR before I was put under. But having you there made me know that I would be ok and everything would be ok and I was able to relax.

I just wanted to let you know how much everything you did for me meant to me.

First, thanks for the kind words.

Your note does not appear corny at all.

And, finally, I totally agree! Nurses Rule! :D

Kind Regards,

Ted

Not the least bit corny. You will make her day!!! A nurse feels like soaring when she receives words like this from her patients. Your letter is bringing tears to my eyes!!! You worded it so wonderfully.
