Tina was my labor delivery nurse. She saw me through the entire delivery. Tina was very personable and cared for my wishes. She helped be my labor coach as my husband slept. She kept my doctor informed and changed the plans of induction as she saw fit. As labor picked up, she really stayed right there with me to help coach as my husband did, too. Even though her shift ended at 0700, she stayed through to help until the baby came and I was settled. Baby came at 0720. Tina was amazing and went above and beyond my expectations of a labor nurse. This was my 3rd baby and by far the easiest and best nurse I had. Most caring nurse for delivery out there. On behalf of me and my 10lb 7oz. monster, Thank you!

My wife was admitted to the labor floor as she had suddenly developed atypical preeclampsia two weeks before her due date. We were both concerned due to the potential side effects, but from the moment Tina entered our room, she displayed confidence and calmness that let us know everything was going to be fine.
She quickly earned our trust and her experience and knowledge were very apparent. When my wife developed additional symptoms during labor, Tina remained calm and confident which trickled down to us and I knew everything would be fine. One situation that stands out was when we were about to get the epidural a nurse came in so Tina could take her break. Instead, Tina insisted that she wanted to stay and assist Kayla through the process. We were both very nervous to get the epidural, but those feelings quickly vanished having Tina at my wife's side. Sanford is extremely lucky to have Tina as a nurse. Her knowledge and professionalism are second to none. She made a stressful time seem like a small speedbump and we were rewarded with a beautiful baby girl. We are grateful we were able to experience her birth with Tina.
