No matter what Jenna has going on in her personal life, she always gives 100% to her patients. Recently, on a Saturday, Jenna had clocked out and was on her way out of the hospital when she ran into a labor patient on her way into the unit. The front doors are locked at this time, so it if hadn’t been for Jenna, the couple would have had to walk around to the Emergency entrance. Jenna recognized that the woman was in distress and took the time to put her in a wheelchair, take her to L&D, help admit, hang antibiotics and stayed until the patient was comfortable. Jenna then offered to park the patient’s car and bring in her belongings (the husband had left the car in the temporary parking area of the hospital).
