"Nursing was never a consideration for Mabus prior to Castleman; she didn’t even know anything about it. She had her heart set on becoming a teacher because she loved working with children."
"That changed after spending months in Lurie, where the
nurses got to know her in ways beyond just a medical chart. Mabus remembered
Jessica for making her laugh, Brittany for taking her out on the patio to get a
little bit of air each day and Anna for being with her on the
hematology-oncology floor during Christmas. Their care showed Mabus her true
calling."
“We always hear about cura personalis at
Marquette: caring for the whole person. My nurses embodied that. They cared for
me physically and mentally; they were true friends to me,” Mabus says.
"While Mabus is not certain what specialty she wants to
pursue, she is favoring the two areas she experienced as a patient: nephrology
and oncology. She’d still like to work with children and hopes to show them the
same compassion she received from her care team."
