One situation stands out vividly during my hospital stay, highlighting Marie’s extraordinary clinical skill and compassionate care. I was struggling with severe pain that had escalated despite the medication I had been given…Her presence alone brought a sense of calm. She noticed immediately that I was in more pain than usual and quickly assessed the situation. She didn’t just follow the routine procedures; she asked specific questions about my pain, noting any changes in its intensity and location. With her gentle voice and reassuring demeanor, she helped me relax enough to describe what I was feeling…She took immediate action, contacting the attending physician to review my medication and advocating for a change in my treatment plan. Marie’s thoroughness and attention to detail led to a swift adjustment in my pain management, which brought me significant relief. But it wasn’t just her clinical skill that made a difference; it was the way she cared.

Thank you, Marie. We were so lucky to have you as our nurse. Marie is so kind, and she exudes warmth and caring. Every question was taken care of, with great follow-up. She cared for my mom like she was her family member. She has great compassion…We were just so fortunate to be in Marie's care. My mom got much better after receiving such kind and excellent care.
