First-born child, early labor, no epidural talk about a panicky feeling! Fortunately for this nominator, Olga Moran was assigned as her labor and delivery nurse. From beginning to end, Olga was by her side, "reassuring me, massaging my back, delegating tasks and demonstrating true leadership among the nursing staff. Her caring, uplifting and determined attitude was one of the sole factors that got me through one of the toughest challenges of my life - a 16-hour natural childbirth! Olga's unique determination and professionalism reflect the true meaning behind the DAISY Award."
