Jane O'Rourke, RN, DNP, NEA-PC, CENP
Director, Nursing, Professional Practice

"From a patient's perspective, a great nurse is security, comfort and a cherished partner in the journey through the healthcare system. To parents of crucially ill children, nurses are guardians and saviors with whom they have entrusted their beloved daughters and sons, their most treasured possessions. To the family of a dying patient, a nurse is the gift that will support them with comforting words, a gentle hand and open heart."

Alice Schenkel, RN, EdM
Project Manager, Acute Care

"I educate patients and their families about HIV and risk prevention. Montefiore encourages me to share my knowledge and experience in developing countries, too."
