Christina's story
Christina had been a social worker and a hospital-based pediatric nurse. Now that Christina has been a part of Nurse-Family Partnership for eight years, she doesn't want to do anything else.

Gail's story
The Nurse-Family Partnership training represented a paradigm shift in Gail's views of infant development. She had worked in many different areas of nursing, and other than the training she received as a surgical intensive care nurse, none has come close to the depth of preparation she received for Nurse-Family Partnership. As Gail learned, the program also had supports in place to help new practitioners circumvent failure. Download Gail's story.

Today, she works for the Nurse-Family Partnership in Dallas, Texas, helping low-income, first-time mothers cope with all the challenges of raising a baby.
