Kristin cheered me on and encouraged me and was a wonderful support.
Kristin was my nurse while I was induced and gave birth to my second baby boy. Kristin came in and introduced herself and immediately put me at ease. She was friendly and explained each step of the day ahead. She made time to get to know me, my husband, and our little man (who shares a name with her little man!). Most of all I loved how in control Kristin was. She was able to be friendly while also making sure all was good with the baby and my progress and I felt completely cared for at all times. When it came time to push I had my husband on one side and Kristin on the other and I felt like I had the dream team around me. She cheered me on and encouraged me and was a wonderful support. After I gave birth she knew I hadn’t eaten all day and I was hungry! She made a point to get me and my husband food before the cafeteria closed (I gave birth at 5:21 pm and the cafeteria closes at 6 pm). She was just an incredible nurse and made me feel like I had a friend with me all day. Any patient who has the privilege of getting Kristin as their nurse is a very lucky patient.
