Caitlyn Mortus beat childhood cancer at MD Anderson Children’s Cancer Hospital in Houston, Texas. Then 10 years later she returned, but this time, she’s treating the patients.

“My journey with cancer is 100 percent the reason I became a nurse,” Caitlyn said, according to the hospital. “All through nursing school, my goal was to return to MD Anderson so I could support kids with cancer, the same way my nurses supported me.”
