When Mary Jo Holuba enters a child's hospital room, it's not uncommon for the child's eyes to widen. After all, most nurses are dressed in scrubs, not princess dresses.
Not Holuba. She's different. She's a nursing student in the pediatric nurse practitioner program at Johns Hopkins University, but she's also a classically trained soprano whose soaring voice can transport her listeners far beyond the sterile confines of a hospital or clinic. In between classes and studying, Holuba dons the fanciful gowns of fairytale characters and performs for pediatric patients and their families. Sometimes she gives them a full-on presentation, complete with storytelling and grand gestures and songs. And sometimes, she sits next to a child, holds her hand, and quietly croons her to sleep. She takes her cues from the children. Either way, she is grateful for the chance to use her gift to help sick children feel better. Even just for the length of a song. |

Hispanic Millennials require New Marketing Strategies
from Hispanic Marketing.comLatinos will account for more than 80% of the growth in the population of 18- to 29-year-olds over the next few years and this makes them a key demographic for marketers targeting young consumers. However, marketers need to develop their marketing strategies taking into account the rapid changes under way in the composition of the population of the Hispanic youth. Let's take a look at the 2010 Census data compiled by the Pew Hispanic Center: - 58% of Latinos in the 20- to 29-year-old age group are U.S.-born,
- 81% of Latinos in the 15- to 19-year-old age group are U.S.-born, and
- 95% of those in the 10- to 14-year-old age segment are U.S.-born
Thus, within a few more years, U.S.-born Latinos will dominate the 18- to 29-year-old age segment within the Hispanic population. Click here to read more.
