Nursing is a great career for both men and women. Meet my colleague and friend, Stephen Trobovic, RN, who has been an ICU nurse for 30 years! He cared for many of our most critically ill COVID-19 patients, and miraculously survived 3 bouts of COVID-19 himself as well! As a senior night nurse on our heart surgery team, Steve is a special teacher and role model for many of our young recruits. Thank you Steve for all you do!
