I was in a life-threatening accident. My heart stopped beating and I crashed into a guardrail. I was then taken by ambulance to Inspira Woodbury ED, where I was diagnosed with a Right Bundle Branch Block. I was transferred to Inspira Mullica Hill. That is where I met the most Intelligent, caring, and kind nurse, April. I was so scared and worried about my health, my children, not having health insurance, and my car was totaled. She didn't just hear my concerns, she listened to my fears and made me feel safe. April and I spent 2 days together, in the ICU when she was by my side I could rest. She explained everything, came when I called and even when I didn't, just to check on me. She went above and beyond with my treatment. I actually flat-lined two times in the ICU and when I came back here she was the comforting face I saw. Even though she wore a mask, due to the COVID pandemic, I could see and feel the compassion in her eyes. I had to get an emergency pacemaker and April was calling physicians to advocate for me. She watched over me the whole time, checking on me frequently and it felt like a had a family member at my side. During shift change she would tell the next nurse to make sure they watched over me, it was so comforting. She is an excellent nurse and went above and beyond to save my life. She was the best nurse I ever had! I will never forget her or the outstanding care I received at Inspira Mullica Hill. She deserves recognition for her empathy and care, she is truly one of a kind! As for me I'm doing great with my pacemaker and can see my future. Thank you

April was taking care of my father while he was staying there, and she showed the most compassionate care for him. She is an outstanding nurse and made his stay the most comfortable that it could have been. She had tears and smiles alike with us while sharing experiences from her own personal past that were related to my father's condition. She supported us as we stayed with him, and grieved with us when he lost his battle. Without her, the experience would have been completely unbearable.
