Meet Nurse Cury

São José do Rio Preto, Brazil
Nurse Bruna caring for child

Bruna Cury, RN, MSN, is the Nurse Coordinator and Scientific Coordinator at Hospital de Criança e Maternidade in São José do Rio Preto, Brazil, a Children’s HeartLink Center of Excellence.

She has a passion for children and recognizes the critical role nurses play in the care and recovery of young heart patients.

Despite their strong desire to provide high-quality care, Bruna and her colleagues often face limited opportunities for specialized training and education in Brazil.

In her role as a nurse educator, Bruna strives to empower fellow nurses, encouraging them to make a meaningful difference in the lives of their patients.

“You can’t speak up about what’s best for your patients until you know what’s best for them. That’s why training and education are so important.”

“I hope I can inspire other nurses by being a role model.” she continues, emphasizing her commitment to fostering support and high standards of care within her community.

Of Children’s HearLink’s partnership, Bruna says, “Working beside people who show us how and why to do things that help our patients is empowering and inspiring for our whole team. Our work has gotten so much better as a result of training with the Mayo Clinic and observing their amazing culture of respect and teamwork. None of these improvements would have happened if Children’s HeartLink hadn’t believed in us and created this important partnership.”
