I chose my specialty because...
I discovered that my favorite part of being a nurse was talking with the patients and their families and helping to put their mind at ease. After working in the specialty on an inpatient setting, I fell in love with the population and felt that was where I belonged.
I like working with kids because...
You can try to make coming to the hospital fun! Kids are so creative and have imaginations that run wild at times, always keeping me on my toes. You never know what they might say, and I love that.
I chose to work at Dayton Children's because...
I have always enjoyed working with kids and the experience that patients and their families receive at Dayton Children's is unlike any other place I have been. You can feel the hope when you walk around the hospital.
Dayton Children's is special because...
You can feel the liveliness when you walk into the hospital. It hardly feels like a hospital, and you can see it on the kiddos faces. Dayton Children's helps to make very difficult times a little more bearable.
