It's the connection on a personal level that really comforted me.
I would like to nominate Shawand for this award for her compassionate, very attentive, and personalized care. Shawand's positive energy and great sense of humor were very uplifting and fun! Shawand makes a great human connection with patients, foresees requests, and really goes the extra mile to make me comfortable; it's the connection on a personal level that really comforted me as well. Special person! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, it is truly appreciated!

Shawand is such an amazing nurse. She educated, she listens, she smiles, she cares. This made my experience here as a first-time mom one to remember. Not only am I a first-time mom, but I'm also a first-time patient. In all of my 32 years of life, I have never been a patient in a hospital setting. To be honest, being pregnant, this was something I was not looking forward to. But my experience here was great and nurse Shawand was the icing on the cake. I rarely take the time to do surveys but this level of care MUST be recognized. She even walked down my pumped breast milk to my baby at 2 AM and at 5 AM. She is something special. Shawand has a special place in my heart and baby's heart. Thank you so much, Shawand! See you in 2 years! LOL! We appreciate you!
