Independence Blue Cross has announced the winners in the 2022 Celebrating Caring campaign. Among the winners, is a South Jersey nurse helping parents who have lost a baby.
VOORHEES, New Jersey -- It's National Nurses Week, a time to honor those do-it-all health care workers.
The winners and finalists represent a wide variety of nursing specialties from psychiatric care to flight nurses."It's the best thing my mother ever made me do," says Ann Coyle, RN, of Virtua Voorhees Hospital.But in her early days in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Ann wasn't so sure.Ann finally confessed her concerns to a nurse practitioner supervising the unit, who put Ann's fears to rest.
Dr. Ronald Librizzi, a specialist in maternal-fetal medicine, saw Ann doing this on top of her NICU shifts, and recommended her to lead a new Perinatal Bereavement Program at Virtua Voorhees."Saying nothing if you're sitting with someone and holding their hands is OK," Ann said of her approach to bereaved parents, letting their grief guide the way.
