Su·per Ty·phoon – What a storm can destroy, two nurses can rebuild (Part Two)

Rehabilitationships

On International Nurses Day, we’re wrapping up a two-part story for our ‘Rehabilitationships’ podcast.

This is the story of Annie Cangco and Kathie Fetting, two nurses who met in 2019, following a devastating super typhoon in Saipan.

Annie was staying in a shelter with her family, including her eldest son Bradley, who was living with a spinal cord injury following a car crash.

Kathie, a nurse at Mary Free Bed, was volunteering with the American Red Cross for disaster relief. Kathie and Annie met and quickly formed a friendship, as they worked together to help her son.

This episode picks up the story when Kathie returns to the U.S., and starts working to find a way to bring her new friends to Mary Free Bed.

On this International Nursing Day, listen the episode below to learn what truly makes a good nurse, and why nursing is more than the career, it’s a calling.

If you’re interested in changing a life, including yours, become a nurse at Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation. We’re looking for nursing staff who’ll bring hope, love and inspiration to patients – and each other. Find out more by visiting: maryfreebed.com/nursing.
