Listen closely next time someone shares a good hospital experience: you’ll hear at least one mention of the great nurses.
Nurses are at the core of every positive care experience, and there’s a reason why. They’re at the frontlines of it all, from the most complex surgeries to the quickest follow-up visits. Whether your stay lasts thirty minutes or a month, they help keep you as healthy and happy as possible—all while making you feel special. More than expert medical professionals, nurses have to be flawless communicators, savvy navigators, thoughtful advocates, and even top-flight playmates (for those younger patients).
Celebrate their service and dedication by supporting advanced training and continuing education initiatives for NYU Langone’s nurses. Your contribution today honors the exceptional nurses who made a difference for you and yours.
