TAMPA, Fla. — For nurse Lindsay Arenas, every day at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital feels like being home. 

Lindsay spent many years at Johns Hopkins as a child due to a hereditary bone disease called multiple hereditary exostoses. 

While her visits there were sometimes painful, she has strong memories of the nurses who cared for her and advocated for her.  And after years of treatment and over twenty surgeries as a young adult, she became a nurse. 

"I knew that this was where I was supposed to be. I knew All Children's, I knew I was coming back to my roots," she said. "I have the ability to look at patient care from all angles. So I could be the parent, I could be the family member, and I could be the patient."

Now she gets to work with the same nurses who cared for her all those years ago. 

And fun fact, her grandmother also worked on Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital, as did her mom and dad who met there. 

You could say it was predestined for her.
