At 36 weeks pregnant, I was sent from my routine doctor’s appointment to labor and delivery due to the sudden onset of pre-eclampsia. From the moment I got to labor and delivery, everyone was so wonderful. All of the nurses were so calm and collective, that I had very little idea how serious things were. They were all so understanding and patient waiting on my husband to get our other kids to family to get to the hospital without missing the birth of our son. Labor and delivery were very quick. Unfortunately, the birth of our son was just the beginning of a very long and difficult week for me due to complications of pre-eclampsia. I was so blessed with the most amazing nurse for my week-long stay. Jennifer P. was my nurse for the entire week. Over that time she really took the time to get to know me. She takes patient care to the next level. I had some very difficult days and she was there to encourage me and she spoke up for me and advocated for me when I couldn’t for myself. She cheered me on breastfeeding a 4 lb, 12 oz. preemie and we celebrated his weight gains together. She laughed with me and was there to listen when I was scared. She was so compassionate when I just needed to cry. I’ve been back to labor and delivery for outpatient blood pressure monitoring and was blessed to have Jennifer by my side again. She was again so helpful to help me communicate my questions and concerns to my doctor. She puts in long hours over consecutive days which is such a blessing to her patients to have consistency in care. This woman is an absolute angel and you can really tell her whole heart is what she does. I’ll be forever grateful for Jennifer!
