At all times, Nurse Vijandre treated me with respect and kindness, ensured that I was appropriately monitored and treated, and went out of his way to ensure that I was comfortable, treated with dignity, and cared for.
Calvin was very professional, always explained the procedure, and was always ready to help. Answered my question regarding the procedure I had, and did not have to use the call button when he was on duty.

Nurse Vijandre demonstrated outstanding care, compassion, and professionalism when I was a in-patient in the obs unit. At the time of admission, I had just undergone emergency surgery to correct an infection that had developed post-surgically, and I was receiving IV antibiotics around the clock in the obs unit. At all times, Nurse Vijandre treated me with respect and kindness, ensured that I was appropriately monitored and treated, and went out of his way to ensure that I was comfortable, treated with dignity, and cared for. I have been a patient in hospitals multiple times in my life, and some of my experiences were quite poor. It makes me appreciate outstanding care even more, especially when that care makes me feel as if I'm being treated as a whole person. I cannot recall a moment when I needed something, from pain meds to help moving around, when Nurse Vijandre wasn't right there for me. In addition, he and PCA worked beautifully as a team. Never for a moment did I not have one of them available to me with less than a one-minute wait. They were positive and upbeat, and, impressively, both expressed how much they love working with each other and with their entire team. That teamwork shone through, and their positive attitudes and true dedication made my stay a successful and excellent one! Thanks so much to Nurse Vijandre for his professionalism, expertise, and compassion. for these reasons, I believe he is a true DAISY Nurse.
