Testimonials
What our clients and patients are saying about RN On Call
“Nadine’s understanding of the health-care system, her hospital nursing experience, generosity, compassion and no-nonsense approach to solving delays, dietary issues, care-giver service breakdowns, medication challenges was invaluable. Her able assistance and commitment to making even the most difficult of situations easier for us made a huge difference in our ability to care for Mother with love and compassion. The greatest blessing for our family, however, was that she truly cared for us all. Nadine was an official member of my mother’s health care team for over 10 years.”
-J.B.
“My parents were living in an independent retirement setting and my spouse and I were traveling on the East Coast when my mother fell and injured herself. We were at a loss as to how to respond from so far away, when I called a trusted friend in Corvallis who had recently arranged for the care of a parent. His un-qualified recommendation of Nadine convinced me to call her the same morning that we had received the news of my parent’s situation. By the afternoon, Nadine had visited with my parents in their home, done an assessment of her condition and arranged for the ongoing daily care and equipment that would be required. It was an immense relief to my parents and to us, to know that my mother was in capable hands while we returned. When we needed help and advice, we were fortunate to have Nadine in our corner.”
-Pat L.
“Nadine cared for my Father for over three years. Her professional conduct, knowledgeable treatments and advice, and personal attention to his needs allowed him the freedom to live in his own place. Her attentions exceeded all expectations. And her warm sense of humor charmed my father.”
-J.P.
“…I can’t say emphatically enough how incredible she was as a clinician and an advocate. It was often very frustrating for us that our parents’ doctors normally couldn’t take the time to sit with us and respond to our concerns. Nadine went above and beyond to relieve us of that worry. She was with both our mother and father when they passed away, and because she felt like a part of our family she was a huge comfort to them and to us emotionally. Nadine is an exceptional person in every way and we can only hope that many more people are as fortune as we’ve been to engage her significant expertise and genuine, heart-felt support.”
-J. C. V.
“RN On Call supervised my Mom’s care in an adult foster home for over 3 years, which kept her health on track and greatly reduced my stress level. Nadine is experienced in the cradle-to-grave realities and the confidence she radiates is immensely reassuring.”
-H.N.
“She managed the health care of Jim for the last 3 years of his life. His last few days were comfortable and peaceful, and a lot of that was because of Nadine’s care and management. We give her our highest recommendation.”
-W. & J. T
“I was out of state when my mother entered organ failure and was admitted from the Emergency Department to the hospital, surviving with oxygen, multiple IVs, and frequent vital checks from staff. She was confused, uncomfortable, and her health would not improve. Nadine worked with me by phone, on multiple calls each day as the family made the decision to move her to hospice care, advocated for comfort medications, and provided her as much comfort as possible in her last days. She was such a source of wisdom so we knew what to expect, how best to care for her, and Nadine provided much-needed emotional support as we sat by my mother’s side. I can’t imagine navigating that sad and stressful period without her help.”
