Shannon is a team player on the night shift and has plays an integral part in the orientation of many new staff members to the unit. She always has her fellow employees' backs. She exemplifies her skills with the care for our high-risk antepartum patients, giving them reassurance and positive support. She responds to a critical clinical situation with calmness and assurance to her fellow staff members. She is an excellent example of our Labor and Delivery staff and we are so proud she is member of our team. Congratulations to her. She is, so well deserving.

"Shannon is the L&D nurse that always jumps up to help when your patient comes in 8cm and wants her epidural, or they call a "Code Precip" in the lobby. For this reason, she is well respected by her peers and charge nurses. She is a very compassionate nurse who ALWAYS gives excellent care to her patients."

"On a low volume night when several people were left home on call, the ED called wanting to bring up a patient with a ruptured ectopic pregnancy that could not wait for the OR team to arrive. Shannon quickly realized she was the most experienced nurse on the unit. She volunteered to take this patient even though she had never done this type of case. Ruptured ectopics are not performed in labor and delivery so her willingness to step up to the plate and do this procedure shows what kind of nurse she is. The care she and the rest of the group provided possibly saved this patient's life."
