A shining patient review for RN, Christina

Aya traveler, Christina, received a complimentary letter from a patient who wrote, “Christina is a nurse of knowledge, wisdom and understanding. She is friendly and caring in nature. She is efficient when spending time with patients and keeps you informed that she has not forgotten, but is trying to obtain answers. She gives help, and makes sense of procedures and follows up on tests and doctor reports. She contributes new ideas when we are being treated and in the process of healing. She is never harsh, and provides medical attention gracefully. She thoroughly explains new medication. She does not say, ‘Here are your meds,’ and leave. When I could not physically care for myself, Christina volunteered to ‘suit up’ and help me when I was embarrassed. She is an A+ nurse with honors.”

Christina, it’s clear you go above and beyond for your patients, and it doesn’t go unnoticed. Keep up the impeccable work!

“One patient recognized Juan for making her care personal and building a connection with him. Juan shared with the patient his experience with cancer in his family. It helped the patient feel like Juan would take very good care of her.

Another patient recognized Juan for being kind and considerate of her husband. She was very ill and her husband was trying to do everything for her as she was in considerable pain. Juan gave her medication, but more importantly allowed the patient’s husband to share in her care, supporting him and helping him feel he was making a difference. After the patient was settled, Juan offered her husband a chair and thanked the husband for all of his help.”
