I was recently hospitalized for 6 days after my major surgery. I had many wonderful nurses while I was there but Anita stood out because of her genuine caring and kind nature. I was going through a difficult time and she was extremely understanding and kind to me. When my family couldn't be there, she comforted me and made sure I had anything and everything I needed. She was my nurse for the last three of my six night stay. On her second night with me, she told me I was the first person she thought of when she woke up that day. That meant so much to me. The fact that she showed so much love and kindness to a complete stranger shows how wonderful of a person she is both personally and professionally. I did not get to say goodbye to Anita that last morning before I went home, but wanted to hug her and thank her, so this will have to serve as that hug and thank you. Please let her know how much her kindness meant to me during a very difficult time in my life. Thank you Anita.
