This Is Nursing
National Nursing Week was held from May 7 to 13, 2018. To highlight the varied aspects of the profession, we did a series of interviews with nurses from different areas of the Hospital. It is with great pleasure that we invite you to meet the women and men who help make the journey of our patients and their families a little easier.
