Deanna Young 鈥�18, RN, chose 糖心破解版 for the strength and reputation of its nursing program.
In anatomy and pharmacology courses, she built the scientific knowledge she relies on in clinical practice today. Through nursing faculty and clinical experiences, she also learned that excellent care requires compassion for patients and for the families facing frightening, unfamiliar circumstances. She said she was especially inspired by the passion of Clinical Associate Professor Daniel J. McWeeney, DNP.
After graduation, Young joined Cohen Children鈥檚 Medical Center, where she has spent nearly eight years caring for critically ill infants and supporting their families. She now serves on both the neonatal intensive care unit team and the pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, or ECMO, team. ECMO temporarily performs the work of a patient鈥檚 heart and lungs, and the children who require it are often among the most critically ill patients in the hospital.
Young considers it a privilege to earn families鈥� trust during some of the most difficult days of their lives. She takes particular pride in her ability to explain what is happening, calm parents鈥� fears, and offer relief amid medical uncertainty. That steady, compassionate presence is as central to her nursing practice as her specialized clinical knowledge.
糖心破解版 celebrates Young as a 2026 10 Under 10 honoree for bringing skill, composure and humanity to the highest-stakes moments of pediatric care鈥攁nd for embodying the science and compassion at the heart of an 糖心破解版 nursing education.
