Olivia made me feel so safe and secure and was a bright light on a dark day.
Unfortunately, I suffered a devastating miscarriage of my first pregnancy, it felt like my entire world was crumbling. I had to have a procedure done in the Operating Room and was so blessed and grateful to have Olivia as my nurse. She held my hand, cried with my husband and me, and just made us feel as though we weren’t so alone. She made me feel so safe and secure and was a bright light on a dark day. She took exceptional care of not only me but my husband as well. Olivia even took time out of her short break to come to check on my husband and me in the recovery room and see if there was anything we needed. At my follow-up appointment, my OB raved about how wonderful Olivia was and the exceptional above and beyond care she provided. I am so grateful Olivia was my nurse that day, I truly don’t think I could have gotten through the day and procedure without her kindness and compassion. I am forever indebted to her. I know this award would mean the world to her, but it still wouldn’t be enough recognition to show how truly incredible she is. Forever thankful.
