Cathy Foster
Cathy Foster, RN, MSN, PNP, was named the latest winner of the prestigious DAISY Award at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles in a surprise ceremony on March 4. Cathy was joined by her co-workers, her friends and her daughters in a celebration now very well known at CHLA. Cathy now joins the many other nurses across the United States who have been honored each month with this prestigious national award. She received the Healer’s Touch statue, a living daisy plant, a DAISY Award pin, a certificate and the praise of her colleagues. Since every nurse who receives The DAISY Award reminds us that her/his entire team is deserving of recognition and that it takes a team to provide great patient care, all the nurses and staff in the recipient’s unit are treated to Cinnabon® cinnamon rolls at each presentation. These are some of the kind words in Cathy’s nomination form: “It is right in principle that those should be the best loved who have contributed most of the elevation of the human race and human life. But if one goes to ask who they are, one finds oneself in no inconsiderable difficulties.” – Albert Einstein, 1934 “The quote above describes our surgical admitting manager Catherine Foster, RN, MSN, PNP, who is always working to ‘elevate’ our unit to its highest potential. Dedicated to the advancement of patient care, Cathy shows true passion for her work. Her job is unique in that she functions as an RN, nurse manager and pediatric nurse practitioner. In all three roles, she takes her job in stride with no complaints, and always with a smile on her face.”
