Shoutout to the incredible LVN students from Hartnell College who spent the day with our CEO, Margy Mayfield, and Clinical Director, Robin Nacamuli honing their pediatric clinical skills! Pediatric training isn’t typically part of the LVN curriculum, but Hartnell College’s program is going the extra mile to give students a broader view of their career options. Each year, students have the unique opportunity to rotate through Coastal Kids Home Care, shadowing our amazing shift nurses in patient homes for two days. This hands-on experience allows them to see pediatric nursing in action and understand the deeply meaningful relationships our nurses build with the children and families they serve. The feedback from students has been overwhelmingly positive, and we’re so proud to share how much our nurses love the work they do every day with these special families. #PediatricNursing #NurseEducation #LVN #CoastalKidsHomeCare #HealthcareTraining #PediatricCare

This past Saturday was National Palliative Care Day, and what better way to honor it than by sharing a picture from last week, when our dedicated team including nurses, administrative staff, Child Life specialists, music therapists, social workers, and our CEO, Margy Mayfield—attended the ELNEC (End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium)! This two-day conference, hosted by the Stanford University, Division of Quality of Life and Pediatric Palliative Care, provided invaluable insights and advanced skills in pediatric palliative care. Our team gained expertise in pain and symptom management, effective communication, and holistic family support. With this knowledge, we are even more prepared to deliver compassionate, high-quality care to children with life-limiting conditions and their families. A huge thank you to the ELNEC and Stanford University, Division of Quality of Life and Pediatric Palliative Care program for this impactful conference!
