Fatma Nasser, RN, has dedicated her life to making a positive impact. Growing up in a war zone, she witnessed emotional trauma and recognized the vital role nurses play in providing compassionate care during vulnerable moments. At 16, Fatma worked as a nursing assistant at a children’s hospital in Zurich, Switzerland. For the past eight years, she has made a difference as a children’s behavioral health nurse at Dominion Hospital: “I am passionate about helping young patients and their families navigate the complexities of mental health challenges,” said Fatma. “Seeing our patients overcome their fears, develop trust, and form meaningful connections with us is a constant reminder of the profound impact that our healthcare team has on the children and adolescents on our unit.” According to one of her nurse colleagues, Fatma embodies the spirit of nursing. “She cares deeply for her patients, her peers and the entire hospital."
