You hear him before you see him.
The melodic baritone drifts through the sterile corridors of Valencia’s Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital.
The sound surprises no one. Most have gotten used to hearing Jared Axen, a registered nurse, who uses song to connect with his patients and help soothe them.
“It’s an incredible way to be able to bond with somebody,” said Axen, 26, who has worked at Henry Mayo for almost five years.
A former child performer who earned an associate's degree in music from Valencia’s College of the Canyons and had some private classical vocal training, Axen’s talent was exposed at the hospital quite by chance.
Are you wondering why he's being called as the singing
nurse? Well, for your information, Jared Axen is a nurse who connects with the
patients' heart by his voice. For every ill patient, he takes care of them and
sings a song that will help the patient to feel that someone really cares for
them, also, Jared Axen's voice helps lessen the pain that every patient is
feeling.
One of his patients is Norma Laskoske, an 89-year old patient
at Valencia Hospital who suffers from pneumonia and lung cancer. Her lips are
slowly moving and mouthing the lyrics of the song that Jared Axen is singing
for her.
“If he would come in 24 hours a day I think I’d be well and
I’d be out of here but then I wouldn’t see him, he has a beautiful, soothing
voice and the nice thing about it is when he looks at you, you know he’s
singing to you. It just pierces my heart.” Laskoske said.
You see? This is the result of having passion in your chosen
career, you just don't work for money, you work to help other people who really
needs you.
