Seldom come a time when someone makes such an impression on you on the most important day of your life the day I gave birth to my son was so memorable and peaceful because of my support system surrounding me. During the last hours of my labor, Jennifer was my nurse. Between my doula, my husband and my nurse Jennifer, I was surrounded by so much support that led me to have a beautiful birth naturally and safely. Jennifer was so professional and took such good care of me. She created a system around my contractions to monitor my baby, monitor me, and talk me through each contraction. Her attention to detail and constant support was amazing. She did not leave my side while I was trying to birth my son. She gave me encouragement every time I pushed. Her customer service, dedication, and diligence to ensure me and my son’s safety is all the reason to select her for the Daisy Award. My best attempt in words to try to describe her performance as a nurse may fall short to justify what an incredible nurse the Women’s Hospital has. Thank you for our time reviewing this nomination.
