I experienced my very first hospital stay at the age of 86, the entire staff was very good at all times, but one nurse stood out in doing what she was trained to do. Mary put my family and me at ease too. She was prompt in responding and efficient in all tasks. She always had an upbeat manner and pleasant. Respect was shown to me in every situation. She was genuinely caring, concerned and patient in thoroughly explaining any instructions to my wife and me. Her cheerfulness was a sincere indication that she enjoyed her job and loved her patients. Her sense of humor brightened my day for me and my family. Thank you for making a difficult situation bearable. I really think she is the epitome of a DAISY Nurse.
