I chose Nicole because she treated my mother and me with the utmost respect when most of the other hospital staff were rushing in and out like we meant nothing to them. I chose Nicole because she’s both caring and competent, the kind of nurse who’ll do anything to help her patients. I chose Nicole because my mother deserves someone kind. I chose Nicole because she somehow managed to climb under my skin and I still can’t shake her. And now she’ll be living in my home, sleeping under the same roof. This might be the dumbest decision I’ve ever made.
