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.

"Many of our patient and family customers assume we have the most advanced knowledge and equipment available. What will make or break their experience is the way they were treated as a person - whether we make eye contact, communicate in a timely fashion, are honest and sincere, are “in the moment” with them. Amidst our ever increasing technology and automation, Nursing needs to be ever vigilant in advocating for the patient/family."
