I was already tired and frustrated, but MJ was my nurse that night, and was amazing and made it an enjoyable experience despite all the delays!
MJ is simply amazing! From the moment we arrived, MJ gave us the best care. My sister joined me at the hospital because my husband was deployed. MJ was so caring and compassionate. She connected with us and made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. She is so intelligent, and I could tell she really loves her job and the care she gives as a labor and delivery nurse.

She was aware of my medical history and was able to answer all of my questions, as well as give me additional information to prepare me for the birthing experience. MJ cares and is so sincere in everything she does. As a twin herself, she connected so well with my twin sister and me. We shared a lot of similarities and just loved conversing. She was so empathetic about my husband being deployed. She just made our experience at Monument Health the best.

I really had no idea what to expect and she just continued to make my experience so comfortable. After I delivered and was moved to post-partum, she made a point to come by to check on me and my baby. She went above and beyond and made my overall hospital experience just amazing. We were lucky to have MJ as a nurse and I hope everyone gets to share the same experience as we had.

I was brought into Monument Health due to complications with my pregnancy. Unfortunately, they were not able to get me a room for several hours. I was already tired and frustrated, but MJ was my nurse that night, and was amazing and made it an enjoyable experience despite all the delays! She had my best interest at heart and was my biggest advocate that night. My first dose of pain medication failed only an hour after receiving it. She tried everything she knew to get it working again, and when it didn’t, she was able to track down the anesthesiologist to redo it. She also checked on me constantly to ensure I was comfortable and that I wasn’t having any additional issues. Anything I needed or asked for she made sure I got. One of the nicest and most caring nurses I have had.
