The staff in general is amazing, but there is something extraordinary about someone who calms your nerves in high-stress situations.
Tanya was there while I was checked in after having my water break, and for labor starting. She listened to everything I said, and I never felt so heard and seen as a patient in my 33 years of life. She made sure I was comfortable, provided so much insight in the process of labor, I asked so many questions, she answered everyone with knowledge and grace, and in ways I understood, and also answered any questions my husband had. Her experience shows in what she does. I was sad to have her shift end as my nurse because of the peace she set in the space around her. I say all that to note that we had to stay additional days in the hospital with baby, at a certain moment I was specifically had a very difficult time as worry and fear and exhaustion has caught up with our going on 3 day in hospital when she recognized my husband in the hallway and came by to say hello and see baby, my eye filled up with tears because I knew that if I asked a question or anything I felt on a personal level peace. The staff in general is amazing, but there is something extraordinary about someone who calms your nerves in high-stress situations. Tanya made a difference in my experience, the hospital is blessed to have her there, and so many patients will have amazing experiences because she is their nurse. Thank you, Tanya, for going above and beyond; my husband and I appreciate you.
