Carol Murray

The Children's Medical Center

Carol Murray has been a Registered Nurse for 19 years and has worked all of those years at The Children's Medical Center in the Intermediate Care Unit, where she is currently a Clinical Resource Nurse. In fact, Carol realized she wanted to be a pediatric nurse while she was a nursing student assigned to the general pediatric floor. Her colleagues say that Carol shows a passion for caring for chronically ill, long-term patients. She knows all of the patients in the unit and becomes a part of their extended family in a professional manner; her goal is to ensure that family members fully understand the child's needs and how to care for the child at home. Carol is passionate about the children she cares for at Children's and shares her knowledge and expertise with the community through her education lectures related to technology-dependent children. Carol's colleagues consider her a role model for patient care, education, and advocacy. She is a member of the Process Action Teams, which strive to improve overall quality and safety of patient care throughout the hospital. For her contributions to patient care, Carol received the Nursing Excellence Award from The Children's Medical Center. Carol earned her B.S.N. from Wright State University and is enrolled in the Master's program there. She is certified in Pediatric Advanced Life Support and as a CPR instructor.
