Working as a bedside nurse and transitioning to become one of the managers of a cardiology unit in an Academic Children's Hospital, I witnessed many changes over the course of my career.

The patient, a 4-year-old boy, was transitioning from the cardiothoracic intensive care unit to the cardiology unit. It was the first time a pediatric patient on this particular VAD would be cared for outside of an intensive care unit at any hospital in the country.
