Short said, "I'm happy to be able to share parenting tips and advice with colleagues who are about to become first-time moms." She is currently known to have four children, aged 2, 4, 7, and 9. The manager of this unit, which has a total of 87 staff members, stated that they have had ample time to prepare for absences due to maternity leave and have planned to ensure there are no gaps in patient care.
Amy Barden, the center director, said, "This is an incredibly meaningful moment for our nurses. Some of them are about to become mothers for the first time." She added, "They were already experts in baby care in their respective fields, but now many of them will deepen that expertise by caring for their own babies and experiencing motherhood themselves." She also noted, "They have formed a special bond with their colleagues even before giving birth," and said, "They are happy to have the opportunity to share this special moment together."
