I am an RN student and I would like to know what the nurses who care for you could do to better help you? I'm anxious to get your feedback! Please reply!

    I've had 3 major surgeries and 2 minor ones since 12/02. I had some great nurses and one fantastic nurses aid. The best thing she did for me was help me to get some dignity back after 16 hours of surgery and 3 days in ICU. She cleaned me up (as best she could) and helped me feel like a person, not just a "case."
