June 2020 Honoree
sheila paterno, RN
I had the worst pregnancy possible and was terrified of childbirth. My nurse calmed my nerves and continued to make sure I was comfortable and calm all day. She talked to both my partner and me about her own experiences and her time being an L&D nurse, she distracted us from our worries and went above and beyond what I expected of my nurse. She was scheduled off before my son was born and she stayed to see his birth through with me which said a lot about her character and her love for her job. My delivery experience was 100 times better than my pregnancy experience and I truly believe I have my wonderful nurse to thank for that!
Thank you, Sheila, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
