Caitlyn O’Brock is interviewed this week, sharing her heartwarming story and journey from ICU nurse to Godmother. Following Caitlyn’s appearance on the Kelly Clarkson Show, she sits down with the Scrub Caps and Sippy Cups Podcast ladies to tell all.
Caitlyn cared for a patient in the ICU named Monique Jones, who was 26 weeks pregnant and struggling with COVID. Monique delivered baby Zamyrah via emergency c-section when the decision was made that both mom and babies’ lives were at risk. Caitlyn knew that if the pair survived, she would throw Monique the biggest baby shower ever! Caitlyn raised the baby shower money, taking donations from friends, family, and coworkers.
Caitlyn talks about life after this story going viral. She admits, “it's been a lot.” She has had several media outlets reaching out to her for an interview, Anderson Cooper, CBS News, and the Kelly Clarkson Show, to name a few. The one thing Caitlyn struggles with the most is understanding why she should have the spotlight when there are so many amazing nurses out there that do what she does. Caitlyn discusses the attention she has received and how she is processing this. Also, don’t miss her telling us what Kelly Clarkson gifted her!
We want to take a moment and recognize all of the amazing nurses out there! As Laci mentions in this episode, 2020 showed us what nurses are all about.
"Remember when everyone thought that nurses were timid and submissive doctor's helpers and then a pandemic came and the world finally realized a nurse is like the Swiss army knife of healthcare providers and will find ten million ways to save your life. May we never underestimate the value of a damn good nurse."
