Kathy Rideout | Nurses Week | University of Rochester School of Nursing
During my first year working at Golisano Children’s Hospital, I had the privilege of caring for a 12-year-old girl, Amanda, who had a brain tumor. She had a very caring mom and dad and a younger brother, 6-year old David, who had some developmental challenges. It was apparent that the family was not financially wealthy but provided very well for their children — especially in the area of love and support.
