"Emily Busha is a familiar name on the Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital medical-surgical floor. “I’ve been in and out of Mary Bridge my whole life,” Emily said. She’s from Port Orchard and has a long history with, and deep connection to, the hospital."
"Born with Total Colonic Hirschsprung’s Disease, a rare
congenital condition that affects nerves in the colon and causes problems with
the body’s ability to eliminate waste, Emily spent much of her infancy and
toddlerhood as an inpatient at Mary Bridge Children’s. After four surgeries,
including an ileostomy and reversal all before she was in preschool, Emily’s
care continued off and on for the next 10 years — or as she says, every time
she got sick..."
"Emily graduated from Seattle Pacific University with honors
in 2021 with a BSN degree. She said that hands-down, her Mary Bridge Children’s
doctors and nurses were major influences on her decision to pursue a career in
pediatric nursing. After graduation, Emily completed a nurse residency at Mary
Bridge Children’s and is now a registered nurse on the medical-surgical floor."
