What was your first interaction with a nurse?
“The NICU nurses were so kind and caring during our time there. They not only took amazing care of my baby girl, but they also made me feel supported and loved during a tough but special time.” Vanessa Kochinke Specialist II Video Production “As someone who has been under the care of many nurses over the last three years, I can’t express enough gratitude and appreciation for them. The group that I see has the empathy and compassion to both understand my physical needs and mental/emotional state each time I am in. I see that for me and others the critical impact nurses have on our lives. Their service and commitment are truly remarkable! I believe they are the most important role in all of health care without a doubt!” Kyle Brown Director Workforce Development
“Early in my career as a novice nurse, there was a nurse who was ‘pulled’ from our pediatric unit to work in the CCU unit. She was so professional in her response and carefully went to CCU and told the charge nurse that she was a pediatric nurse and did not know anything about providing care in a critical care unit, but that she could monitor IV sites and do discharge/transfer tasks. What she demonstrated was a willing- ness to provide help within her scope of care and knowledge skill set. I was so impressed with her that I knew I wanted to be a nurse just like that. She was a true team player who put patient care first and wanted to do all she could to help.” Patricia McAfee Professor Didactic
“The most meaningful interaction I have had with a nurse was when I was born. I was a preemie (6 weeks early), and my NICU nurses remained some of my parents’ closest friends even now, 30 years later. They had such a strong connection with the nurses that we even got to welcome their babies into the world later in life.” Mollee Keenan Associate I Bursar “My son was born with syndactyly (four digits on his right hand). When it came time for him to have one of those digits removed to improve mobility, I was so nervous about the surgery. The nurse in charge of taking my son back to surgery commented on carrying him back and bringing ‘mama’s love with him,’ and it touched my heart so deeply. I knew that she would be my representative in that operating room.”
