Rural Nursing Graduate Learns By Giving Time To Hispanics

Two years ago, as part of her nursing education, Abigail Rojas began working with Hispanic girls in southern Oregon. "We'd spend two days a week with them on a health-related project. We went to the hospital and read to children in the pediatric unit or just held the babies to give the nurses a break. Or we'd bring the girls to visit classes. They've loved it. It makes them think, 'I could do that.'" For Rojas, being a mentor has become a calling. To read more about Rojas’ experience as a mentor, go to: http://www.ohsu.edu/son/news/enotes-rojas.shtml
