She cared like I’ve never seen a nurse care before. She has so much passion and compassion that was no doubt straight from her heart.
Corie helped my sister with the most unfathomable of life circumstances, delivering a child who would never take a breath. She was the bedside nurse for two days and, on the second day, single-handedly delivered my angel niece, who came very suddenly by herself with patience, calmness, and complete composure. Through our entire experience with Corie she was the kindest, most patient, and most empathetic person that we didn’t even know we needed. She handled the line of professional and human inconceivably well. She cried with us, she smiled with us and answered every single impossibly difficult question we could come up with. Corie had a heart made of complete gold and a true calling to nursing. She is one of a kind and exactly what we needed to get through such a difficult time.

She just went absolutely above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable given the terrible circumstances. She is the most caring and compassionate nurse in Healthcare I‘ve ever met. I can only hope she gets the recognition she deserves because this is more than a job to her. She is the definition of what a nurse is and should be. Thank you for everything Corie!

I came into the hospital to find my baby no longer had a heartbeat. Corie was my nurse. She went above and beyond to make sure my family and I had everything we needed. She cared like I’ve never seen a nurse care before. She has so much passion and compassion that was no doubt straight from her heart. She explained anything and everything to me as many times as I needed in different ways to ensure I understood her. She comforted me like I was family or her own. One morning she came in to check me and within minutes our baby had arrived. She delivered her by herself because she came out so quickly. She remained calm and collected while continuing to comfort my boyfriend and I. I could not be more thankful for her making this absolutely terrible time in my life just that much easier. Without her, we would have struggled even more through this terrible experience.
