janelle mccombie, RN

Janelle McCombie is the quintessential pediatric oncology nurse. She is professional, compassionate, kind, and highly skilled. Janelle is a calming presence that alleviates the anxiety of the patients and parents. She is also not afraid to speak up, reminding visitors and even doctors to put on a mask when entering the patient's room. And when her duties are complete, she is happy to engage in play with her patients.

J spent 117 nights in the hospital. Now, after months in remission, J does not like talking about his experience, but he remembers the nursing staff fondly and will speak of them often, particularly Janelle.
