Upon completion of the residency, the RN is skilled and competent to care for acutely ill infants and children. NICU: Jennifer Gornish, Samantha Hadley, Laura Hays, Julie Mageras, Genevieve Robinson, Kathy Swan, Rebekah Tillman, Meghan Winn CVICU: Sheila Berns, Dana Cooper Neurosciences: Clarissa Norris Pediatric Medicine: Holly Beaver, Kelly Cuffel, Cecilia Dofka, Kelly Schrayer When asked why they chose to become a nurse and join All Children's, comments included: "Because I love children and babies, I knew that I had to be part of ACH." "All Children's Hospital is committed to providing a comprehensive program that prepares our new nurses for the challenges in an evolving healthcare environment," said Hella Ewing, ACH Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer. "When I look at this group of graduates, I am reminded of what it means to be new nurse. There was a level of excitement within this class that is contagious. I am proud of their accomplishments and appreciate the leaders who make this program possible."
