"I have a huge responsibility of providing education to nurses across the country," Megan shares. "I am empowering clinicians, so they have the confidence to excel, and teaching them the skills they need to provide the best possible care. I take such pride in my role, knowing that I help shape our nurses and contribute to making Aveanna the best in home care."

Meet Megan, our newest National Clinical Educator. Megan’s passion for pediatric care brought her to Aveanna. Her compassionate heart and teaching skill empowered her continued growth, eventually leading her to our National Clinical Education team.

As Gastroparesis Month comes to a close, it is important to recognize key symptoms of this chronic digestive condition.

Many individuals who live with gastroparesis go years without an accurate diagnosis due to overlapping symptoms that are seen in other gastrointestinal disorders. Symptoms can persist or reoccur over time. They include but are not limited to nausea, vomiting, stomach pain or discomfort, dry heaving, reflux or heartburn, bloating, and the inability to finish a meal.

If left unmanaged, these symptoms can lead to further health complications. Learn more about gastroparesis symptoms and how to raise awareness by visiting https://pulse.ly/ol2f6y5svg

Jonas’ first seven months have shown how strong and special he truly is!

After a long labor, Jonas was born and admitted immediately to the NICU. He was evaluated for eating and breathing difficulties, and he was ultimately diagnosed with laryngeal-tracheal-bronchial malacia. He was discharged from the NICU at 2 months old with a G-tube and oxygen. Soon after, he had a tracheostomy placed and used ventilation to keep his airway open. It was a game-changer for him!

Jonas can now focus on learning, growing, and being loved. He is now thriving at home, where he’s a happy, playful, rambunctious boy who loves people and being on the move. Having skilled nursing through Aveanna will allow Jonas’ dad to go back to the office for work and his mom to manage the home and provide a nurturing and rich environment for Jonas and his sister.

We are truly inspired by your perseverance, Jonas. Welcome to Aveanna!
