The article discusses the best practices for health of undocumented patients. Featured individual is public health registered nurse (RN) Laarni San Juan who provided care for a certain Marta, an immigrant without papers. According to San Juan, what she learned in a nursing school is to see the people as a whole and not to see the legal status or how much money they have. San Juan stresses that she provides compassionate care for all especially for those like Marta.
