Great nurses!

Everyone hates being sick but with drs, nurses, techs, and everyone help treating you being as nice and wonderful as my staff was it made it better

The process from admission, to the OR, to the floor, to discharge was remarkably fast, efficient and polite. Thank you!

The crew of nurses I had were the best. All shifts.

We were in room F9## and we had an AMAZING NURSE NAME KIMBERLY (RN, she was the night shift nurse) She was soooo very helpful and her knowledge was top tier! She did all she could to help him as he has knee surgery. Her bedside manner was everything. I know she was a traveling nurse so we probably will not see her again, however she was a precious jewel and made our stay at UAMS simply awesome!

Yes, I have the best experience in that hospital as I ever had anywhere. I think it is a wonderful place.

The nurses on F9 were fantastic. Keyonna, Audrey, and Megan T. were great at listening and explaining everything they were doing. In a time when staffing a hospital is so difficult, it was nice having nurses with such wonderful bedside manner. These three nurses made my hospital stay a pleasant experience.
