Charlene talks with Dr. Rhonda Foster EdD, MPH, MS, RN, NEA-BC, about the unique challenges involved in providing care in a children's hospital. They discuss Rhonda's journey as an experienced nurse and healthcare executive, and what keeps bringing her back to children's care. They also dive into the challenges involved in treating patients that can't always make decisions for themselves, how to provide support for children throughout the stages of development, and what people need to know about children's care versus adult care.
