My name is Margaret Sennett, and I am the lead nurse practitioner in the Division of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology.
I am really passionate about the care that we give as a team, that every patient is an individual, that we listen to families and we listen to patients. We always tell parents, we know you know your child and if you're worried about something, we're going to listen to that.
Having children has really shaped my career. It's taught me that no matter what your child is going through, it's a big deal. That has helped me be more empathetic and just a better nurse practitioner in terms of taking care of those children and interacting with their parents.
We were discussing a very critically ill patient, and I looked around and there were at least 20 providers from all different disciplines and levels of care. All there at one time, because that one particular patient is that important. Looking at that situation, what I observed made me think that if this was child or my grandchild, this is where I'd want them to be.
