Regina was the exact angel that I needed the moment that I arrived at the hospital. She was on special duty for my miscarriage and received me at my arrival at the door. She took care of my husband and me in ways I couldn't believe, with deep compassion and commitment. She never hesitated in her caregiving and she was always one step ahead of my concerns and fears. When shift change came, I felt like I was losing family. On one of the saddest days of my life, Regina brought me all the peace, compassion, and professionalism that is possible to impart in this tragic situation.

Regina was my daughter's nurse from the time of admission to the time the baby was born. My daughter was admitted in labor and with a condition that was very worrying. Two days later we were discharged only to be readmitted the following day. Regina was our nurse again. She is a great nurse: conscientious, kind, respectful, caring, loving, and responsible. The situation on the family side was not favorable, but Regina cares for her patient by keeping the environment calm and advocating for her patient.
