2021 PICU NURSES WEEK BREAKFAST
Our PICU physicians and nurses share a uniquely close working relationship. For over ten years, the attending physicians have provided breakfast for nurses on the last day of Nurse's Week as a way to say thank you. It’s a favorite tradition that PICU nurses look forward to all year long. Dr. Katie Boyle, an Attending Physician in the PICU said "Our nurses show up every day ready to care for any patient who comes their way. They provide outstanding care to patients and I feel so fortunate to work with them. Our annual breakfast for Nurse's Week is a chance to say thank you to this amazing group of caregivers."
