Emotional Teenage Boy Comes Into A Hospital Surprising The Nurses With A Shoe-box

Becoming A Nurse

After High School, Cherish went to Rock Valley College to get a nurse assistant certification. For 7 years she worked in an Illinois hospital and in Arizona. After applying for law school she is now a law clerk until her graduation. She wanted to be a mental health attorney and it was Jeannie that made her realize this dream of hers.

An Unbreakable Bond

On the topic of Jeannie, Cherish said: “I just wanted to let her know how much of an impression she made. We will always be connected because we share this unique story.” They have frequent contact on social media but not in person. One thing Jeannie will admit is that she acknowledged the impact her empathy had on Cherish although her other colleagues would have done the same.

She Felt Humbled

Jeannie said this about herself: “It just makes me think, ‘Wow, every interaction you have with anybody is so important.’ To be able to be in this position where I’m part of someone’s story of their life — that’s such an honor.” Jeannie continues to work at Swedish American Hospital and is extremely proud of her involvement in saving Allen’s life.
