Allison was recognized by three people who each describe her compassion and the love she demonstrates actively. She takes time with her patients, holds their hand, talks to them with love and intention. She came in on her day off with her two daughters and prayed with a patient. "She doesn't know how much that touched my heart. It was just what I needed!" She comforted a patient by playing gospel music on her personal cell phone. This Extraordinary Nurse shows love and kindness to everyone but especially to patients who are feeling nervous, anxious, or discouraged. She is truly a nurse we should all model ourselves after. "A genuine soul." "A giving heart." "Personal connection." Those are phrases used repeatedly to describe Allison.
