Raniel always has a smile on his face and is a pleasure to work with (Nurse Manager).

Recently, Raniel received this nomination from the family of one of his patients. It reads as follows:

"Raniel is a very attentive nurse. He paid close attention to my dad's situation/condition and realized that my dad was sensitive to the blood pressure medication. So, he administered it in small amounts until he found the right amount to give him. He was also attentive to us, the family members. He came in often, and answered all of our questions. If he didn't know something, he would go and find out and come right back with the answer. Raniel deserves to be recognized for his caring attitude and consistent focus on patients."

Thank you Raniel, for being a true role model for compassionate nursing!
