“Donna is always the „go to nurse.‟

Each and everyone of us in the

Donna actually listens and

hears what the patient is saying.”

accountability and adaptability by

putting the needs of the patient as her

mother with the ability to cope for the

last week of my father‟s life.”

for each and every patient. In January,

positive attitude illuminates

and all are at ease around her.”
