Ashley held my hand while I screamed and cried
I came to the ER in the ambulance. I was in the worse pain of my life, as I found out later, that I broke my patella. Ashley showed that she cared and advocated for me, while I was at my worse. Ashley held my hand while I screamed and cried and told the doctors that they needed to “put me out” because I dealt with enough pain at the time. She proved to me that she is a great nurse who cares for patients. When I look back at the worse moment of my life, I think of her and her advocacy for me. Thank you, Ashley! When I saw this form I knew that she deserves this.
