I am a 40-year-old mom who works in mental health, due to my PTSD and anxiety and I felt like I could make a difference in others’ lives from my experiences. Today, I needed to leave to go home and get more done for my daughter, since she came early. I had been crying off and on about the pull of needing to leave and get her new forever home ready or to stay because I have had so much anxiety about leaving her. I was beginning to have some separation anxiety, and at that moment, I looked at the app provided for us mothers. Nurse Catherine went above and beyond to let me know about it by leaving a sweet note that eased my anxiety tremendously. She has been outstanding and very on point in her job. As I work on mental health, I believe it’s very important that NICU nurses listen and respect the parents dealing with such a hardship in any and every situation. It could be the difference between major postpartum depression or just hormones. I nominate her because she went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable to go home and finish getting things ready for my baby girl's home arrival and a night of sleep. She for sure deserves this nomination and more. Thank you and all your staff for caring for my baby girl. But this nurse stood out after being there for 11 days. Thank you. Great job, Catherine!
