Emily Butler
Emily Butler
Franklin Ridge Nursing Home - Unit 2B
Emily Butler is a LPN at Franklin Ridge Nursing Home. She is dedicated to her job so much that after losing her three wonderful children, just four months ago, in a tragic accident and dealing with her own emotional and physical distress from the accident she has pulled herself together for the sake of her patients. Taking care of them fulfills her need to give love, compassion, and most of all her weary and already broken heart. She enjoys talking, laughing, and listening to a good story from her patients. Helping the Nurse Aides takes her back to the enjoyment of being one herself which she was for nine years at the present place. Emily cares and loves her residents dearly. She makes sure that their care, safety, and needs are met each day. For most people they leave work behind when they come home, but not Emily. The clock doesn't stop at the end of the day. She comes in on her own time to talk to her patients and also to take them out for special dinners. Her patients are more than patients, they are her family. They have helped her to understand what it means to love and to be loved. They have helped her to be strong when she thought it was impossible to go on. Emily is more than a nurse she is a hero to all that didn't think it was possible to survive.
