She was phenomenal. She took the time to decorate my room with familiar photos, which meant so much to me.
I was recently admitted after a total hysterectomy. I had this procedure due to multiple ovarian tumors. Sophia was my nurse the day I came in for surgery, and she was phenomenal. She took the time to decorate my room with familiar photos which meant so much to me. This was just a small act of kindness that meant so much to me. My husband was having a really hard time tackling the thought of me having a possible cancer diagnosis at the age of 25. Sophia took the time to sit and talk through her worries and comfort my husband during such a difficult time. Being a nurse myself, I truly understand how busy it can get, so her taking those moments to reassure my family means the whole world. Sophia was also my nurse when I was discharged. She thoroughly reviewed all my education and made sure I knew what to expect transitioning home. I just cannot say enough how genuine and compassionate Sophia was during my hospitalization. Although she feels it is just her job, she deserves recognition for going above and beyond!
