Today, I would like to honor my friend and previous nurse co-worker, Joyce, for her kind and caring attitude and support.

04:16AM she sent me an e-mail while getting ready to go to work, saying that she would be there for me to insert a special IV line,
as that is her specialty and there is no one I would feel more comfortable having do it. You have made my day and I will never forget you for it.

She has gone above and beyond to promote support and understanding in my time of need. After all, that is what nurses do... or should I say, some nurses.
Unfortunately, I have met a couple along the way with little empathy or caring but it is nurses like Joyce
who make me extra proud to be a part of the nursing profession because that's what nursing is all about.

She not only will do my procedure but also enlightened me about options as well as insurance coverage. No one else took the time to explain all of that to me.

Medical care today is very complicated and to have a nurse advocate is the best!

So... in celebration of National Compliment Day, pass a compliment along to a deserving person. It just might make their day!

Thank you Joyce... from the bottom of my heart!
