This post was made possible by iConnect and Pampers. I was provided compensation to facilitate this post, but all opinions are 100% mine.
I don’t know about you but I am very thankful for nurses! I didn’t have a lot of contact with nurses outside the doctors office until my four children were born. I delivered all of my children in a natural family birthing area of a local major hospital. These kind and caring souls helped me labor, deliver, and experience the best post-partum experiences a mom could ask for. Without the expert care of the nurses we encountered those first hours with each of our newborns could have been a disaster.
We believe in skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding. We had a birth plan with each pregnancy and everything was followed as best as could be. Eldest was a long and difficult labor that ended with an OR delivery and four days in the NICU. Even though our bonding was different then the other three, we still had excellent care from the nurses we encountered.

What a great program! Thanks for sharing!
my husband a few really caring and empathetic nurses while he was being treated for cancer.
Nurse Julie at my OBGYN office has made a difference in my life by making my office visits less stressful. She’s amazing, caring, and just on the ball!
A nurse has made a difference in my life by helping me learn how to make sure I do my back exercises after back surgery. These exercises have really helped me!
A nurse who helped with my first baby was so caring and helpful, I still think of her all these years.
A whole lot of nurses made a difference in my life!! I have had so many medical problems that I call them my “earth angels”! They really made a difference when they found the tumor on my spine. I needed help with everything – walking – sitting, etc.
I had chemo, radiation, a stem cell transplant, Aredia!! I was in Rush Medical Center for over a month in a sterilized room. I could go on, but I don;t want to bore you!
My favorite nurse was my nieces nurse! She was born too early and weighed only 1 pound 9 ounces. Her Nurse Lindsay was so wonderful with the whole family. She had so much compassion. She was so good to pick you up on the harder days, or even for a hug when you needed it the most. Today my niece is a healthy 7 year old and we are still very close with her nurse!
I agree nurses are wonderful! Some patients can be so ornery and the nurses try their very best. I try to make their job easier. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
Having several nurses in the family has been a blessing when our little ones were born. My aunt was in the delivery with one of mine.
My favorite nurse is the lady that just showed my husband and I around the Labor & Delivery unit. I’m due in a month and a half and am very nervous! The nurse was very reassuring and made us feel very comfortable!
When my first child was born, a nurse named Jo was so helpful and informative. I so appreciated her as I was a first time mom.
I have a good friend that is a nurse. She is an amazing person. I don’t know if I know anybody as caring as her!
My hubby is going to school to become a nurse so we truly believe that nurses can make a difference! Thank you to all the nurses out there… love this program! Thanks for linking up with us over at Welcome Home Wednesdays! Can’t wait to see what you link up with us this week!
My daughters aunt is a nurse and she stayed past her shift to be with me in the OR during my unplanned C-section, I was very grateful to have her there.
Very exciting. Hope he gets just the job at the place he wants to work.
When I was 6 I had a major surgery and there was a nurse who would give me stickers and play video games with me to keep me company.
The nurse who helped me to deliver my son was very helpful and nice.
That’s so sweet!
The nurse that took care of my dad when he had cancer was awesome!
What a fantastic program! Thanks for linking up to #justanotherlinky xx
