I Am a Mount Sinai Nurse
Excellence is in the DNA of nurses at Mount Sinai. We are a deep and diverse team of highly skilled, relentlessly caring individuals, dedicated to providing exceptional care.
Working individually and in teams, we are committed to bringing our best to every encounter and making a positive difference in the lives of others, both one-on-one and within the local and global communities, we serve.
Read what our patients are saying about the outstanding care provided by our nurses:
“When I was on the eighth floor, I remember each of the following nurses: Mayumi, Caitlin, Ally, Lilyana, Jackie, Carmelita, Umoza, Dylan, Margarita, Liz, and Charlene. They were all fabulous. 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…” -Patient Testimonial, Mount Sinai Morningside (2025)
“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.” -Patient Testimonial, Mount Sinai Morningside (2025)
“John Schwartz is an outstanding professional RN. He emphasized that any unusual symptoms are important to bring to the attention of nurses.” -Patient Testimonial, Mount Sinai Hospital (2025)
“I want to acknowledge the outstanding work of Rivka Eisner at Labor and Delivery for my daughter yesterday. 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.” - Patient Testimonial, Mount Sinai West (2025)
“My CSICU/ CVIVU (Cardiac Surgical Intensive Care Unit) nurse Will Novini was a godsend. He got me through the two most difficult days after my surgery.” - Patient Testimonial, Mount Sinai Hospital (2025)
“As a husband on behalf of his wife, I want to give special recognition to Shirley Liu (left) and Tristan Castillo (right), whose compassionate attention and calming presence made a difficult situation much easier to bear. Nurse Castillo was thorough, kind, and attentive. Nurse Liu brought a warmth and gentleness that immediately put us at ease.” - Patient Testimonial, Mount Sinai West (2025)
“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.” - Patient Testimonial, Mount Sinai Hospital (2025)
I want to praise the actions and kindness of Ms. Makoviy. She was empathic, working with a fellow nurse to have forms processed quickly. I owe her a deep debt of gratitude.” -Patient Testimonial, Mount Sinai West (2025)
