Monday, August 5, 2019

'In healthcare, it's never-ending changes and adapting to the new changes,' says Heinrich M. Huerto, MSN, RN, ONC, CMSRN, nurse manager at Providence Holy Cross Medical Center. 'And we were thinking, 'How do we support ourselves and how do we support the other nurse managers?'
