For Shanique, a Registered Nurse at Staten Island University Hospital, quality care means truly focusing on the patient, making sure they feel safe, supported, and at ease, especially during difficult moments.
When one of her patients began experiencing anxiety about her stage in life, Shanique found a simple yet powerful way to help. She played music by The Beatles, songs that brought comfort and familiarity. In that moment, the patient’s anxiety eased, replaced with a sense of calm and happiness during her hospital stay.
It’s small, thoughtful acts like these that make a lasting impact. ❤️
