Stories of Success

Alex first came to Hospital for Special Care as a CNA on the pediatric unit. Every day she noticed the care and attention to detail her colleagues showed their patients, and it was there she found her dream of becoming an RN. She’s receiving support and flexibility from her managers allowing her to focus on her nursing education while working in a new role as Unit Secretary. She’s learning how the unit functions day to day, which will help her in her journey as she completes a nursing degree.

Nadine earned the Nightingale Award for Excellence in Nursing for providing the highest quality care and showing extraordinary compassion for her patients and their families. Every day she feels a profound sense of fulfillment as a part of a child’s growth and healing journey.
