Transplant Nursing is a unique passion, one that involves a balancing act of emotional, psychological, and physical challenges. These challenges come from knowing that, in most cases, someone has died and this death allowed someone else to have a second chance to live. Through our committed nursing staff, Transplant Nursing at Michigan Medicine, continues to change lives of patients and families daily.
