Venessa Polito, RN
Registered Nurse in Pediatrics
Venessa is a staff nurse in Pediatrics, and has worked at Overlook for five years. Before she became a nurse, she was high school social studies teacher. She decided to become a nurse after being exposed to the nurses who cared for her sister while she was getting treated for a brain tumor. After her sister passed away, she thought it was time to move toward a change in her life. After nursing school, she was thrilled to find a position in Pediatrics here at Overlook…the same hospital where her sister got treated. She thinks it was meant to be.
