My wife was in the ER for a miscarriage and DNC. She was having a hard time dealing with the previous nurse who was in charge of her.

Janet, the nurse who replaced her, ended up being able to sympathize with her. She showed that she cared for the patient and didn't mind the amount of times we asked questions or for random things.

I just want to thank Nurse Janet for everything she did during our hard times and hope she can be recognized for being an amazing nurse who cares.

I came in with severe pain during a miscarriage of twins. I was admitted an hour or two before Nurse Janet was assigned to me; she became my nurse just as I started passing a lot of fluid.

I was in a very emotional state; she reassured me when I had to get to the bathroom because I was worried about making a mess. While in the bathroom, she brought me some items to help me get cleaned up.

While in the bathroom, I passed one of the sacs with a twin in it. I was crying a lot, worried if my baby would end up flushed down the toilet. I called Janet in who helped me determine that was one of my babies and reassured me she would get it for me.

She removed it from the toilet and brought the sac to me. Because of her, I am able to get both my babies cremated. There are no words to describe how grateful I am for her care. She made the whole ordeal much easier for me to handle.

Thank you, Janet, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
