I was sitting with a patient today and was able to watch angels at work in the Mother/Family Unit. The patient was on comfort care. The nurse, Amy Depperschmidt from Float Pool, was so incredibly thoughtful and caring. I watched as Amy brushed the patient's hair, talked to her as if she was lucid and able to communicate, held her hand, and was so sweet and tender. It honestly brought me to tears. I work in an area of mostly joy and celebration, so end of life care is foreign to me. Occasionally we have tragedy and sadness but that is far and few between. Other units see tragedy every day and yet they treated this woman as if she was their grandmother, with dignity and more respect than anyone would ever imagine. Amy would say it was 'her job', yet I feel that it is more than that. Watching Amy at work was incredible, and reminded me of how lucky I am to call myself peer and fellow Nurse. I have an amazing job, as does Amy, and it was so special for me to be able to watch her in her element. I feel that Amy deserves to be honored for the wonderful work that she does, and the gift that she provides to families and patients. I watched it first hand and I am so blessed for having witnessed that type of care.
