An institution of sorts at UW Hospital ended Friday afternoon. Longtime nurse, Nancy Jolliffe, wrapped up her 43-year career.
Jolliffe began working for UW on September 7, 1964. For most of her career, she has worked in oncology, including her last 13 years with UW’s Comprehensive Cancer Center. She said it was the patients who motivated her to come to work every day. “The patient continuity that develops when you work with these folks, is very very special,” said Jolliffe. It’s those patients, through good times, and bad. They’re not always happy times. But they’re special.”
