Cindle Fontan-Bennett, MSN, RNC-OB.

Words cannot describe how thankful I am for the excellent care provided by Cindle during my labor and delivery. Working in OB myself, I was anxious about being on the ‘opposite side’ of the bed rails. Cindle supported me through a very eventful labor (meconium fluid, less than ideal fetal heart tones, development of an infection, diagnosis of preeclampsia, pushing for over 4 hours, and a post-partum hemorrhage). There were several times I felt like giving up, that I couldn’t continue – she coached me into delivering my baby girl. She advocated for me, kept me and my husband informed, and was a guiding light in the organized chaos.

When NICU was working on my baby, Cindle made sure my husband was able to see her. Then when I hemorrhaged and my BP tanked, she talked me through and kept me conscious. I have worked in L&D and to say that my assignment was difficult is a gross understatement – her calm and reassuring nature showed that she is not only a competent nurse but an asset to the time. She we above and beyond, I couldn’t have asked for a better nurse. I will never forget my experience including Cindle, my amazing L&D nurse
