“Working with children and helping them manage any acute or chronic conditions they may have is one of my most sincere passions. Throughout my nursing career, I’ve found that children are excellent learners. They’re really open to what I teach them about how they can best take care of themselves. It’s an honor to be a part of their journey toward wellness—both physical and mental.” — Shonda Colella
