Sue White, BSN, RN, CHPPN, CPN Certified Hospice & Palliative Pediatric Nurse Certified Pediatric Nurse

Owner & Administrator

I began my nursing career in 2001 at Children's Medical Center in Dallas, working in the Pulmonology Unit. Our team cared for children with chronic illnesses requiring tracheostomy and ventilator care, many of whom also needed gastrostomy tube management.

In 2003, I gained invaluable experience as a travel nurse at the University of New Mexico Hospital, rotating through the PICU, Pediatric Step-Down, and Neonatal ICU. During those eight months, I cared for children on ECMO and dialysis, children with cancer, and neonates in critical care—a privilege and a deeply rewarding experience.

Returning to Children's Medical Center in Dallas later that year, I continued working in the Pulmonology Unit. Although this was my dream job, I relocated to the Rio Grande Valley in 2004 to marry my wonderfully supportive husband. There, I joined VBMC-Harlingen, serving in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and eventually taking on roles in Nursing Education, as Lead PALS Instructor, and as Clinical Nurse Manager of Pediatrics and PICU.

In 2008, I transitioned to the home health industry, reigniting my passion for caring for children with chronic illnesses. I served as a pediatric private duty nurse, Case Manager, and relief staff in the PICU at Edinburg Children's Hospital. These roles allowed me to focus on providing high-quality, personalized care for special needs children while mentoring fellow nurses.

Recognizing the need for better pediatric services in the Rio Grande Valley, I founded Little Miracles Home Health in 2014. My goal was to improve care for the region's special needs children with chronic illnesses, a population I have always felt was underserved.

In 2023, seeking new ways to support our patients and their families, I returned to school and earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2024. Through research into pediatric palliative care, I joined the Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC) and the Hospice & Palliative Nurses Association. I earned CAPC designations in Serious Illness, Age-Friendly Health Care, Symptom Management, and Serious Illness Communication Skills.

Currently, I am pursuing Advanced Practice Registered Nursing in both Primary and Acute Care for Pediatrics to further enhance the care I provide to children in our community.

Throughout my career, I have remained committed to serving the pediatric population. I am a Certified Pediatric Nurse and a Certified Hospice and Palliative Pediatric Nurse, ensuring I provide patients and their families with the most current information and compassionate advocacy.
