"Families need to know their infants are in the most capable hands. Babies in the NICU need to know they're loved, and that you care about them and want to see them grow. They do much better when they feel that way." - Jonnie Davis, R.N. Alta Bates NICU | "We're just trying to give patients the tools to help them focus their energy. Most of all, I try to give them respect. I try to make it so they have some involvement in their care." - Lawrence Fletcher-Tracy, R.N. Herrick Geropsychiatric Unit | "What's the strength of the rehab program? The people who work here. We have a lot of very good nurses, therapists, doctors, and managers and we really work together as a team. We have people who come early and stay late, not for recognition or pay, but because they care for their patients." - Ann McChesney-Young, R.N. Herrick Rehabilitation Unit |
We're here for the patient. For the folks we all work with, we want to do the very best job, the very safest job we can." - Ted Fuller, R.N. Summit Cardiac Cath Lab | "I always knew that oncology nursing was the type of nursing I wanted to do. We're here to give patients hope, another chance at life. It's demanding, it's stressful, but it's also exciting and challenges your mind. I feel fortunate that I really like my job." - Adelaida Guerrero, R.N. Alta Bates Oncology Unit | |
