"Megha, Thank you soooo much for being a wonderful preceptor, mentor and friend to me. I knew the minute that I met you, that I wanted to work with you. I kept praying that you would be my preceptor. I feel that we were destined to meet each other and wow, am I glad we did! You inspire me on a daily basis and I hope to be half the nurse you are. Thank you so much for loving, mentoring, and supporting me as I dealt with my recent loss. You have been amazing and I am eternally grateful!"
