Corrina, you are more than a nurse you are a gift.
I never imagined I would be a NICU mom, but life had other plans. After my C-section, the unexpected became my reality, my newborn was admitted to the NICU, placed on a CPAP machine, IV, and NG tube. My heart shattered. I felt helpless, overwhelmed, and consumed by fear. Then, in the midst of one of the most challenging moments of my life, I met an angel in scrubs Corrina P. From the very start, Corrina made all the difference. She didn’t just care for my baby she cared for me, too. She explained everything with such patience and compassion, easing my fears and reassuring me in a way I never knew I needed. But what truly set her apart was her kindness, her warmth, and the way she embraced my entire family. 
When my other children, just three and one years old, visited the NICU, she didn’t just acknowledge them she included them. She made my three-year-old feel like a proud big brother by letting him help give his baby sibling their very first bath. Watching his eyes light up with joy brought tears to mine. In that moment, she didn’t just care for my baby she nurtured my whole family. Corrina, you are more than a nurse you are a gift. Your motherly spirit, your kindness, and your unwavering dedication mean more than words can express. Thank you for holding my hand through the hardest days, for loving my baby as if he were your own, and for reminding me that even in the NICU, there is warmth, hope, and family. You are truly one in a million, and we are forever grateful for you.
