A video of a nursing student comforting her patient with a heart-touching version of “Amazing Grace” is winning the Internet.

21-year-old nurse Brittany McArthur is caring for an 87-year-old Nellie Barr who is a grandmother of 22.

Brittany was captured on camera comforting her elderly patient with a heart-touching version of “Amazing Grace” by another patient who later shared the video with Barr’s family.

Jason Barr, one of Barr’s 22 grandchildren, said that when he saw the video, he became very emotional and the family decided to share it online.

“As soon as I saw it I found it incredibly emotional and overwhelming. There were a few tears I have to say. It just shows the amazing care she is receiving”, Jason Barr told SWNS.

Barr and Brittany met only a day before they sang the heart-touching rendition of “Amazing Grace”.

“I didn’t really have a reason to do it. We just picked a song and sang together. I’m glad it took her mind off the pain. I don’t tend to get nervous, I was just happy to make her smile”, Brittany told SWNS.

McArthur is a third-year nursing student at Ulster University. She said: “Nursing isn’t just about the clinical care, it’s about caring for the whole person. It is more than just medicine. I want to make a difference and if I can make someone smile even for 10 minutes then that’s fine by me.”

The video received thousands of likes and comments after it was posted online. One user wrote: ‘That’s so special, lovely caring moments’ while another said: ‘Gave me goosebumps. Absolutely beautiful.’

The third one wrote: ‘Multiple talents in that young lady, caring and a beautiful voice. Love that she saw what was needed and did it.’
