In order to be a nurse, you need to have passion and a calling to serve others. During my six night admission, Angela took care of me during the days, and, until the very last moment, she was extremely patient while tending to my needs. She was full of kindness which is exactly what I needed during my times of pain. She suffered my pains and sleepless nights right alongside me, and she would always have a smile on her face when she would ask, "Can I help you?" She watched over me when I slept, ate, went to the restroom, and during my moments of happiness. She dried my tears and kept me company during my times of loneliness. She worked endless hours, not just for her paycheck but because she loves to serve others.
