Important Stats
Every Story Matters
“Being a Hematology/Oncology nurse for 38 years doesn’t make you hardened or unemotional. I still cry with families. We can’t always control their outcome, but if I can make their time a little bit better while they are here, then I have done my job. I wouldn’t trade my job for anything.”
“In the population I see, there’s a lot of factors that go into what’s causing problems at home and/or at school. There is a lot of investigation into the developmental, psychological, environmental and relational components that need to be considered. Getting to the root of the problem is very satisfying. Every day that I come to work I feel like I am able to make a positive impact in children’s lives.”
“I think I was just born with the desire to care for people. My mom said I was always trying to “fix” everyone when they were hurt or sick so she was not shocked that I ended up in the nursing field. I love meeting and working with new people all the time. I love the ability to be creative in my role and being surrounded by a great team. Phenomenal research, care and people come from Nationwide Children’s, so I am proud to say I am part of Nationwide Children’s Hospital.”
