Pediatric Governmental Hospital : The Hospital

As a Registered Nurse who knows the duties that his work demands, I have to demonstrate deeper understanding of the Health Directorate's core values of care, excellence, collaboration, and integrity in my professional nursing practice and patient care. To conform to the above mentioned values, I endeavor to appreciate that improving a patient's experience is integral in patient care. This can be achieved by doing away with fear and anxiety that protracts patients' healing process. Enhancement of the communication between my patients and I will also go a long way in hastening their recovery and their self-management.

After months of undergoing chemotherapy, Phoenix’s cancer was in remission. “Physically he’s doing good, emotionally he’s doing good”, said Pamela. “I know St. Jude is the reason he has both his eyes. I tell everyone everywhere I go, St. Jude is amazing. I know God has to be in the midst of it. I don’t think I would have my grandson if we had not gotten to St. Jude” (Qtd. in St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital).
