Holding a patient's hand during a stressful time might not seem like much, but to me, it really meant so much.
Jennifer and Taylor are the nurses who cared for me when I was taken to the nearest Emergency Department due to my heart being in an arrhythmia called SVT. I am also a nurse who works for another hospital network in Indiana, and I am beyond appreciative of the care I received from these exceptional nurses while at Ascension St. Vincent Mercy in Elwood. These nurses helped keep me calm while also working so hard to get my heart back into Normal Sinus Rhythm. Holding a patient's hand during a stressful time might not seem like much, but to me, it really meant so much. I am so grateful for the knowledge and skills these nurses possessed to be able to give me the best care. I want to say thank you to both Jennifer and Taylor for saving my life.
