We had a very personal and emotional moment while I was in the operating room when she held my hand and let me know it was all okay.
Jordan was my labor and delivery nurse, and she took such amazing care of me and my newborn baby. Not only was she closely monitoring us all through her shift - the baby had heart rate issues all through my labor and induction - but she also provided emotional support and helped guide our expectations through situations that might come up, like an emergency c-section. Jordan was such a rock through my labor pain, epidural placement, and eventual birth plan switch to a c-section. We had a very personal and emotional moment while I was in the operating room when she held my hand and let me know it was all okay. I completely trusted her care and felt very safe with her watching over us. She kept us grounded in the facts, got us everything we needed, and felt like someone I had known for a long time. She helped the rest of the staff during the c-section and was a constant presence for us to hang on to while we were scared of the unknown. I am so lucky to have her as my nurse!
