From patient care assistant to clinical nurse manager

Payton Knapp started on University Hospital's bone marrow transplant unit as a patient care assistant. Eight years later she's the clinical nurse manager for the same unit. "My coworkers are my best friends. They're my family. We've been through everything together. They're definitely why I've stayed here," said Payton. "Coming to this [manager] side I've lost some of the patient connections, but I've built more of the team member connections. My team members are my patients now and I have to take care of my team and fight for my team like the way I used to fight for my patients."
