Hematology Nurse Practitioner Terea Giannetta has been chosen for induction into the Central San Joaquin Valley Nursing Hall of Fame, which recognizes “outstanding nursing professionals who have promoted the profession through a lifetime of dedicated work and experience.” This prestigious award is sponsored by Fresno State’s Department of Nursing, the local chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International Nursing Honor Society and the Nursing Leadership Consortium of the Central San Joaquin Valley. Gianetta joined Valley Children’s 26 years ago – obtaining her master’s and doctorate nursing degrees along the way – and is currently Chief Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. She is also a tenured professor at Fresno State, where it’s estimated she’s touched the lives of more than 5,600 nursing students.
“There are some remarkable people on that wall at Fresno State,” Gianetta says. “I am very honored and humbled to be recognized this way.”
