What is a Mount Sinai nurse? A Mount Sinai nurse is so many things: a team player, dedicated caregiver, critical thinker, continuous learner, mentor, patient advocate. And so much more. At Mount Sinai, we believe that a Mount Sinai nurse is the nurse all other nurses aspire to be. Together and individually, they create excellence every day. Read what our patients are saying about our nurses and listen to how some of them describe what makes them a Mount Sinai nurse.
Rivkah Eisner, RN
“From the onset of labor all the way through to bringing us to the post-partum floor, Rivka worked with dedication, wisdom, and high energy to ensure a healthy and positive experience. Rivka exuded an attitude of collaboration and accommodation. She made us all feel that we were a team, and she was there to assist in every way. She was kind, focused, respectful, and full of helpful energy.” Click here to watch the video.

Beth Lungaro, BSN, RN
“Nurse Beth Lungaro in the ER was truly outstanding. After 11 hours there, she would still show a beautiful smile, warm manners, and incredible efficiency. We could not have asked for a better nurse.”
Grace Tesoriero, NP
“I came in experiencing a great deal of pain and was angry at everyone I encountered because I just couldn’t manage it anymore. But Grace treated me as if she could feel exactly what I was going through. Her presence was calming, and just being with her made me feel better. I was truly blessed to have seen her that day.”
Uzoma Nwaekpe, RN
“One night, at 4 am I mentioned to Umoza that I was looking forward to having a conversation not about medical stuff. He stayed for 10 minutes, recited Shakespeare beautifully, and we discussed poetry. Are you kidding me? There is more intelligence, creativity, and perseverance in this group of nurses.”
Tristen Castillo, BSN, RN and Shirley Liu, RN
“As a husband on behalf of his wife, I want to give special recognition to Tristen Castillo and Shirley Liu, whose compassionate attention and calming presence made a difficult situation much easier to bear. Nurse Castillo was thorough, kind, attentive. Nurse Liu brought a warmth and gentleness that immediately put us at ease.”
John Schwartz, RN
