Our Nursing Staff
The supportive, individualized care provided by our knowledgeable staff allows
for an exceptional experience throughout your stay. You will have the opportunity
to bond with your baby and learn to care for your infant under the guidance of
nurses who specialize in newborns and their families. Our nurses have an average
of 18 years experience in assisting with labor, birth and early parenting and
all are certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Basic Life Support
(BLS), and Neonatal Resusitation (NRP). Hear what three of our many nurses have
to say about working in Mercy’s Family Birth Center.

“I have more than 18 years of service in OB/Labor
and Delivery at Mercy as an RN with a diploma degree. We truly care about our
families. We offer support, encouragement, advice and more because our patients
are important to us. We almost become part of the family for a few days. That’s
why I have been here 18 years.” Pam Weyen |

“I have worked at Mercy for 18 years, approximately 17
of them in OB. I have my bachelor’s degree in nursing, and I am nationally
certified as an inpatient obstetrical nurse. I like working in the Family Birth
Center because it is one of the few areas where you get to help bring joy to peoples’
lives and witness miracles on a daily basis. Our Family Birth Center is small
enough to provide individualized care to our patients and their families. Our
nurses have many years of experience and provide what I feel is the best care
in the Siouxland area.” Shelly Anderson |

“I have been working at the Family Birth Center for 35
years. I have a diploma in nursing and a bachelor’s degree, and I am nationally
certified as an inpatient obstetrical nurse. I especially enjoy working with laboring
moms and helping them through the birthing process. I feel a sense of accomplishment
when I make a difference in the parents’ labor and birth experience, helping
them to have the best possible experience because of the support I provide. I
particularly like the Family Birth Center at Mercy because of the families we
care for, the flexibility and experience of the nursing staff, the warmth and
friendliness of the physicians, the community education programs offered to the
families and the overall Midwestern values.” Jacquelynn Goettsch |
