Susie, an OB nurse, was recognized by the husband of a maternity patient. He says she was "incredibly patient, skilled and incredibly thoughtful." She patiently answered the many questions that new parents have, and went above and beyond in keeping both mom and dad comfortable. He also wrote, "The most moving thing, in my opinion, was that even while my wife was non-coherent, she still thought to order food for when she recovered."
