Kat was nominated by several staff on the unit. Excerpts from her nominations include:
"A nurse like this is one in a million."
"She is very caring, very professional, quiet, and efficient. She is an excellent preceptor to new grads and new staff. I know when I leave in the morning that her patients are going to get the very best care from a nurse that is compassionate and caring and will take the time to give the very best."
"She is outstanding. She above all Energetic, Innovative, Respectful, Valued, An Advocate, and a Role Model. Her spirit radiates, it is infectious, and an inspiration."
"She is a professional and dedicated to quality patient care."
"Team player, always willing to help. I observed how protective she can be when a patient became hemodynamically unstable. She immediately stepped in took control and initiated a code. She worked rapidly alongside the team to revive the patient. Not only did she continue in this role prior to transfer to the ICU, she took the family aside and reassured them their loved one would be in good hands."
Kat has respect from physicians as well as they nominated her for her being capable, having expert knowledge, and helpfulness with EPIC.
