Corinne was one of the best nurses I have had the pleasure to meet. She had the ability to predict what I needed before I needed it. She was very familiar with my plan of care and took into account my personal preferences and needs. On the first night, Corinne was my nurse and she encouraged me without pushing me to get out of bed about 12 hours after my C-section. She removed my foley at my request and was particularly in tune to my post-op pain. I was able to shower and feel like a person again. During our stay, she seemed to know and respect when I needed time to rest while not delaying my plan of care. She had all my discharge paperwork done the night before I was scheduled to leave. I would not have been nearly as prepared or ready to be discharged and take care of my new infant without Corinne's attention to detail and caring attitude. At a time, I felt disheveled and helpless, Corinne made me feel beautiful and empowered. She is an exceptional nurse and deserves recognition. I have been a nurse for the last 8 years myself and know that nurses like Corinne are such assets to their patients and other staff. Thank you for all that you did for me and that you do for patients every day.
