Nurse spotlight: Daniel Rogers

Daniel Rogers has been a nurse on University Hospital's surgical progressive care unit for eight years. He came to the unit because a friend referred him, but has stayed because of the teamwork, his managers and his patients. "About 95 percent of our patients have all had cancer, gone through chemo and radiation... due to the nature of cancer we'll have patients come back and say 'hey I remember you from five years ago. You were awesome.' That's meaningful to me and also just seeing a patient smile and say thank you... that's probably the biggest reward here."
