I thank the nurses for sharing with us. This is why I think Kaiser is the best, because of the people who work here. I’m an employee, but I have been a patient. I received wonderful care. The care I received helped me recover faster.
So beautifully done. Thank you. I am proud to be a Kaiser Permanente RN and to have the opportunity to touch lives and to receive so much in return.
Very proud knowing one of these important people for patients. I know she had a great example through her mother’s professional experience.
This was a beautiful video. It’s great to see the challenges nurses have to endure on a daily basis and how they overcome them. Thank you for allowing us an inside view.
Thank you! Great video.
Very nicely done. I’m going to pass it on to my granddaughter who is in nursing school.
Beautiful job, Dolores. Simple. Elegant. Moving.
Wonderful video! I especially loved seeing Linda in action! She is an awesome ICU Nurse, and as a UA I’ve had the pleasure of working with her numerous times — she definitely deserves some shine! “LOVED the BLACK & WHITE theme!” Great visuals!
Love love our nurses on the pedi oncology wing. We love nurse Jean.
Such a powerful piece — with beautiful images, words, and music! Thanks for giving us a glimpse into what KP’s nurses do!
Great video! Simple and powerful show of how nurses touch lives every day in such meaningful ways. Thanks.
