As one of only eight fresh-out-of-nursing-school graduates to secure a coveted spot in Broward Health’s first-ever graduate internship program, Juliann DeSiato, R.N., quickly proved herself to be indispensable.

Trained with the fundamental basics, but without any prior real-life clinical experience, DeSiato skillfully navigated her way through the strenuous, 30-week instructional program.

During the pandemic’s most challenging times, she worked tirelessly in both Broward Health Medical Center’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Trauma ICU. It was her compassionate nature at the bedside of critically ill patients that caught the attention of her supervisors, along with her organized and detail-oriented approach to her job.
