The patient was deeply moved by the nurse's kindness and the dignity shown to her during such a vulnerable time. Her appreciation was especially strong because, despite her situation as a homeless individual, she was treated with the utmost respect and care, which left a lasting impact. The patient was overjoyed by the attention to her comfort and felt truly supported, making this act of compassion stand out in her healthcare journey.

“She is everything you want from a health care professional. Helpful in every way required and in any way possible without judgment. Everyone is important equally despite social standing. Although I only got to work with her for a few days she made those days manageable and left a lasting impact. She really deserves recognition and I thank her from the bottom of my heart.”
