UNCH 2015 Nursing Annual Report - 20

Caring for Nurses
Even as They Care
for Patients
Nursing care on a pediatric unit can
often be emotionally challenging;
caring for a seriously ill child demands
strength with compassion, a sense of
urgency while remaining calm, and fast,
yet effective decision making. It's very
important for caregivers to have a safe
place and a knowledgeable, supportive
resource to turn to with the emotions
that can accompany this work. The NC
Children's Hospital staff are grateful
for the support of Pediatric Chaplain
Hadley Kifner, MDiv, BCC, whose
compassionate counsel helps nursing
staff process their experiences when
the giving gets tough.

"When I think of the
mentors I have in
this place, many of
them are nurses."
