The September-October 2019 issue of Pediatric Nursing featured a Guest Editorial authored by Jo Maas, a retired nurse manager. In her Editorial, entitled “Compassion at the Border,” Ms. Maas discussed her first-hand experiences of volunteering at the Romero House, a migrant shelter located in El Paso, Texas, and close to the U.S.-Mexico border.

In this episode, Pediatric Nursing Editor Dr. Judy Rollins talks with Ms. Maas, who elaborates on her experiences at the Romero House and the positive impact anyone can make simply by showing compassion.
