Read Kristen's Nomination

“Kristen was immediately so kind and reassuring that she was going to take the best care of my daughter. My daughter, age 6, had been sick for a few days with a terrible cough and was experiencing chest pains. When we got to our room Kristen immediately included my daughter in all conversations. She promised that she would always talk to her and let her know if anything was going to be done that would be painful or hurt, that she would always talk to her and make sure they made a plan. She was the kindest and sweetest with her.”

Read Devon's Nomination

“I showed up to the ER with my 5-month-old baby girl who had tested positive for RSV two days prior. I had already taken my child to multiple doctors, urgent cares and ER clinics when I had lost all hope. She had gone 12 hours with no wet or poopy diapers and 12 hours without a feeding. As soon as Devon saw my baby girl in the ER triage, she immediately took her in as if she were her own and went to work. She assured me that my concerns were valid, and she was shocked it had gotten this far without the help of others. Devon was the only nurse who made me feel like I wasn’t crazy, and that my mother’s intuition was absolutely correct. She got us into a room, and on oxygen ASAP and from there she never left our side.”
