Cardinal Gibbons High School Fort Lauderdale, FL students joined us for the Healing Hands: Nurse Shadow Experience, beginning their day in the chapel with guidance from our Mission Leader and our Chief Nursing Officer, who helped them focus on purpose before stepping into the clinical world.

Throughout the day, students spent time with nurses from IRU, PACU, the OR, Cath Lab, Endoscopy and 4 West, getting a firsthand look at the skills and teamwork behind quality care. They also visited, NICU, Lab, Pharmacy, CIU, and Physical Therapy, where teams set up interactive stations, microscopes, medication education, sterile trays, therapy activities and a safe cardiac monitoring demonstration.

Thank you to every department and colleague who welcomed these students and helped them explore what a bright future in healthcare can look like.
