Lisal Drollinger, RN DAISY Award Honoree, November 2016 Lisal is very calm and attentive. She helped me focus on breathing during contractions. While getting the epidural, Lisal coached me in holding my body correctly and helped me to stay still and let me hold onto her. During labor she continued to check on my pain levels and when they were higher than I wanted, Lisal quickly got the anesthesiologist to help. She is a calming influence in the act of labor. Nominated by Labor & Delivery patient ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ My wife was 29 weeks pregnant and was cleared to fly to Virginia to visit family. She had a visit (routine two-week check up) with Dr. H the day we were to fly. My wife’s flying status was revoked and we were told a c-section within 72 hours was fairly inevitable. I had still planned on flying, but after she had been admitted for monitoring, it was Lisal (after a shift change) who was there. She was the one who alerted us to the elevated situation and stayed with us virtually through the night, answering all our questions during our emotionally-charged turn of events. All of our nurses in the Women’s Center have been the absolute best, moving me to look into volunteering at EIRMC just to be a part of your caring and compassionate, yet action-oriented crew. Thanks a million for making our stay great! Nominated by a spouse of Labor & Delivery patient
