Tamara was the nurse who took care of my niece. Having been with my niece the entire time she was in labor and subsequent emergency c-section, Tamara was the most professional and kind nurse I ever met. She truly has the heart of God and worked relentlessly. I hope God will bless her 100 fold. You are lucky to have her on your staff.

My L&D Nurse, Tamara, saved me and my newborn daughter's lives.

I went into labor thinking it would be a routine event and it ended up anything but. I was in labor 21 hours until my placenta ruptured into, God knows how many pieces and I had to have an emergency c-section. Believe it or not, Tamara had me and my family members laughing to help ease the tension and never let on how serious the complications of my labor were. Even now, I get emotional when I think how exceptional Tamara is as a nurse and person. She provided me reassurance, compassion and clinical expertise throughout the entire ordeal and did everything possible to make sure my daughter and I remained safe. I firmly believe, having Tamara as my nurse made all the difference in the outcome. After I delivered she was right on top of managing my pain. I appreciated her so much. I would have named my daughter after her if I hadn't already had a name picked out, that's how important she is to me. She was by far, one of the best nurses who ever cared for me and I was in the hospital 20 times during my pregnancy so I had a lot of nurses to compare her to! Tamara was one of the few nurses who genuinely cared about me and my unborn daughter and so if there is any nurse on the planet who deserves this award it would be her. She was kind, professional and gentle. She remained calm, especially during my emergency situation, which made me feel calm. These characteristics made all the difference in the world to me as I was stressed beyond my limit.

I am so grateful that God sent a nurse of her caliber to protect and direct me through my delivery. I am sure she has done the same to innumerable other patients. Please let her know how loved she is by the patients whose life's she touches, especially me and my daughter. She is the absolute best.
