She was patient, kind, and genuinely concerned for my comfort. My delivery happened to occur shortly after the shift change, and Stephani stayed on to see that my delivery was successful and that I felt supported.
I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional care and support two of your nurses provided during the birth of my first baby. Emily and Stephani in Labor & Delivery. Their dedication, expertise, and compassion made a significant difference in our birthing experience, and I am forever grateful for their presence. 

From the moment we arrived at the hospital, we were greeted with warm smiles and reassuring words that instantly put us at ease. The professionalism and knowledge were evident as they guided us through each step of the process, ensuring that both my baby and I were safe and comfortable. Their calm demeanor and gentle touch provided a sense of security during what could have been an overwhelming and anxious time for us as new parents. 

The support extended beyond the physical aspects of childbirth. They took the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and address any fears I had. Their patience and understanding helped alleviate my anxiety, allowing me to fully embrace the miracle of bringing a new life into this world. 

I am particularly grateful for the way they involved my partner and mother in the birthing process. Their encouragement and guidance empowered them to actively participate, making the experience even more special for all of us. Their ability to create a nurturing environment where we felt heard, respected, and values is a testament to their exceptional skills as nurses. Their dedication to the profession and the genuine care they showed towards my baby and me did not go unnoticed. 

Stephani displayed tireless efforts, even during long shifts, which were a true testament to her commitment to providing the best possible care to her patients. Her experience in “turning baby” was key to my successful progression during the labor process. She was patient, kind, and genuinely concerned for my comfort. My delivery happened to occur shortly after the shift change, and Stephani stayed on to see that my delivery was successful and that I felt supported. Her passion for nursing shines through in every interaction, and it is evident that she genuinely loves what she does. 

As I reflect on the birth of my first baby, I am filled with gratitude for the role Emily played in making it a positive and memorable experience. Her kindness, expertise, and support will forever hold a special place in my heart. She was patient and truly carried me through to the point of delivery. She assisted me, encouraged me, and coached me through the process, and I am forever grateful for that. Emily kept me focused and assured me during the process of what a great job I was doing. Her encouragement allowed me to continue even when I thought I was not doing a good job. She laughed, made jokes, and made light of what was a new and sometimes frightening experience for me as a first-time mother. 

I am truly blessed to have had these two ladies as my nurses during this life-changing event. There was no way to choose just one. There were many others involved in my care who were also very kind and caring, however, these two nurses stood out. They are both true gems for your facility and are making huge impacts on the lives of your patients and families. 

Thanks to both Emily and Stephani for being an integral part of our journey into parenthood.
