Our nurses in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) care for some of the
sickest children in the world and have a significant impact on the lives of
these young patients and their families. Our nursing philosophy is focused
around family-centered care, in which nurses encourage and support patients and
families to play an important role in the planning and delivery of care. This
extraordinary family-centered care approach to nursing results in a higher
quality of care which is one of the reasons our organ transplant program has
been so successful and has an international reputation.
Kara Belt, RN, BSN, PICU staff nurse
“I feel honored to be a part of the PICU team at The Nebraska Medical Center.
The cohesiveness, camaraderie and teamwork couldn’t be better. The doctors,
nurses and other members of the health care team all have a full-hearted,
dedicated passion and positive attitude for their work that is absolutely
contagious.”
Casey Frost, RN, BSN, PICU staff nurse
“I really enjoy taking care of children. They have so much to live for and it’s
so rewarding to help them get better and live a good life. Not only are we
making a difference in the lives of these children, but we are also making a
difference in the lives of their families and they are a very important part of
our care.”
Catherine Aron, RN, PICU staff nurse
“I love being able to help the sickest of children and helping their families
transition through a very difficult time. The families are always so
appreciative of the work we do for them and their children. It’s a very
fulfilling place to be.”
Trudie Owens, RN, BSN, PICU staff nurse
“Taking care of acute children and their families is very rewarding. When you
have seen them in their previous state and then they walk out of here and come
back to visit later and they are healthy again – that’s gratifying.”
