Nationwide Children's Hospital’s Post

From NICU patient to NICU nurse! Get to know Hayley. She started as a NICU nurse at Nationwide Children's this month, after being a patient in the NICU 22 years ago! She and her twin sister, Hillary, were delivered at 24 weeks with Hayley weighing 1 pound and 9 oz. Hayley's aunt Kimberly (pictured on the right) was in college when Hayley was in our NICU. Kimberly was inspired by Hayley's journey in the NICU leading her to become a nurse practitioner on the unit! Hayley was then inspired by Kimberly and the other nurses on the NICU that took care of her, leading her to become a NICU nurse herself.
