Teresa Rud

Teresa is a lovely person and a nurse who went the extra mile in terms of information given, various medications checked, and emotional support. She’d sit with me when I was having a bad time with depression and frustration and let me know she really cared for me. We talked many things through and I noted how much her faith informs her work. She is a wonderful nurse.
