Emergency Nurses Week Highlight: Cadira McIntosh

Editor's Note: V.I. Consortium has joined with emergency nurses at the Juan F. Luis Hospital to highlight some of these outstanding first responders as part of Emergency Nurses Week (Oct. 10-16), an annual celebration dedicated to those who selflessly devote themselves to their patients. This year's theme is "Grit of Emergency Nurses".

Today, the spotlight is on Cadira McIntosh.

This Emergency Department nurse was born 1 pound, 7 ounces.

Having been in a position where she required special care and attention, having had others fighting for her life and safety, Cadira McIntosh, RN, was motivated to pursue her current career path – caring for those that depend on others for help.
