Following the deadly earthquake in Haiti, many New Yorkers rushed to the Caribbean nation to help survivors, including two nurses from New York Hospital Queens. NY1's Dean Meminger filed the following report.

Gina Pardo has been an intensive care and a labor and delivery nurse at New York Hospital Queens for 30 years. But what she saw and experienced while in her native Haiti after the earthquake has changed her forever.

"As soon as she delivered she looked at me and started crying. She said, 'Miss please take my baby, my whole family is dead.' I started crying, I started sobbing, I held her, I hugged her," Pardo said.

Nurse Pardo traveled to Haiti with several New York City medical professionals and the Church of Scientology. NY1 interviewed her in Haiti while she desperately worked with earthquake victims.

"You got to do what you got to do, what's best for mommy and the baby. We got to work with what we have, which is not much," Pardo said.

Pardo says she doesn't remember doing the interview with NY1 because she was so overwhelmed with trying to treat patients, some of whom could not be saved.

"The surgeon that was there, sadly told me there is not much we can do for him. So let him be comfortable and move on to the next patient," Pardo said.

Nurse Jean LeFevre -- who administers anesthesia at New York Hospital Queens -- says while in Haiti, there was no electricity in the hospital and few basic medical supplies.

"Just a saw that you see that they cut a wood with, that is what they used for the amputations, and it was ongoing, several amputations that they did like that. So I considered it jungle medicine or jungle surgery," LeFevre said.

LeFevre says they made due with what they had after the earthquake. He says one little girl decided on her own, if she wanted her leg cut off.

"At nine years old for her to make that sort of decision without guardians, no parents...that took me aback," LeFevre said.

Both nurses have family in Haiti and say they are concerned with all of the people who don't have homes, especially with rainy season coming in a few months.

"When it rains it usually floods. And with all of these floods with people on the street, there is going to be more people sick and dying," Pardo said.

Both Pardo and LeFevre say they plan on returning to Haiti to help more victims.
