A film by HooplaHa.

Jared Axen loved to sing. Raised in a musical family, this gift would have to be an important part of his life. It therefore was only natural that when he graduated in 2009 with a degree in nursing he was destined to become “the Singing Nurse.” As Axen does his rounds at Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital, patients and staff are gifted with both the healing powers of modern medicine as well as song. His older patients enjoy the classics but he has been known to throw in a new melody at times. Axen says, “The greatest lesson I’ve learned is that you may never know what impact you will have on someone else’s life. People ask me how much you can make as a nurse. I make a difference.”
