Kyla's gentle and compassionate approach was evident in every action. I was consistently impressed by her ability to make my aunt feel not only physically cared for but also emotionally supported.
During my aunt's time as a patient, Kyla was her night nurse in the ICU for two consecutive nights. On the last day in the hospital, my aunt transitioned to comfort care, and we couldn't have asked for anyone more caring and compassionate than Kyla. Words cannot fully express how deeply grateful I am for the care she provided not only to my aunt but to me as well. She took the time to explain every step, ensuring I understood how the medications were helping to keep my aunt comfortable. Kyla's gentle and compassionate approach was evident in every action. I was consistently impressed by her ability to make my aunt feel not only physically cared for but also emotionally supported. Kyla was thorough in her explanations and always made sure I had the opportunity to ask questions, taking the time to answer each one patiently. It is abundantly clear that nursing, especially in the ICU, is Kyla's calling, and she is an extraordinary nurse. When I had to step away from my aunt's bedside briefly, my aunt's condition changed unexpectedly. Kyla immediately called me, urging me to return as quickly and safely as possible, reassuring me that she would stay with my aunt until I got back. Sadly, my aunt passed away before I returned, but knowing that Kyla was by her side in her final moments brought me immense comfort. She ensured that my aunt did not pass alone, and for that, I will always be deeply grateful. Kyla's kindness and compassion made a lasting impact on me and my family, and we will forever remember the care she provided during such a difficult time.
