Nicole Gallagher, BSN, RN

I first met Nicole during a hospital visit for severe back pain when I was 30 weeks pregnant. She stood out by staying with me most of the night, helping with my needs, and offering emotional support as I struggled with constant vomiting. When I was induced at 38 weeks, I was terrified for my first delivery, but seeing her walk in was a huge relief. She was by my side during several painful attempts to place my epidural. She stayed calm, supportive, and encouraging during my contractions. She even stayed past her 12-hour shift to be with me when I gave birth to my daughter. Her kindness and dedication meant the world to me and gave me the strength to deliver without medication. I’ll always be grateful for her unwavering support. She will always hold a special place in my heart!
