Historical NotesPair of Dansko clogs worn by nurse Christi Bolanos. A 2008 graduate of Duquesne's nursing school, Christi started at Allegheny General Hospital in September of that same year as a trauma nurse on the surgical floor. She moved to the Emergency room in the fall of 2010, a position she still held as of 2021. A California native, Christi and her former husband moved to Pittsburgh in 2006 to start a family through adoption. They adopted 6 children through the foster system and informal connections. Christi wanted to be a nurse in order to be connected to the community as a competent and compassionate nurse. Because she believed it was everyone’s worst day when they came to the ER she had a desire to work in that department and to show love to people in their most vulnerable moments. She also is deeply committed to social justice and equity and wanted to be involved in healthcare because of the huge disparities that exist for racial minorities in healthcare treatment, especially black women in the city of Pittsburgh.
