Radella stood out in my mind. She went above and beyond for me and my baby girl.
As a first-time mother. labor was scary enough. When your baby's heart rate starts dropping and you get flipped multiple times trying to correct it, it becomes even scarier. As my baby's heart rate dropped with each contraction. multiple staff members jumped in to assist and keep the situation calm and safe. Radella was working on the OB/postpartum side of the unit this particular night but jumped right in when she saw that my baby was in distress. While all the staff members were excellent, explained everything well, and remained calm, Radella stood out in my mind. She went above and beyond for me and my baby girl. I was lucky enough to have Radella as my nurse for the next 2 nights after an emergency C-section and she was wonderful every step of the way. I wish there were more nurses like her in the world to make every new mother feel comfortable even in the face of adversity and fear.
