Cathy is an excellent LPN, whom I have worked with for the past 12 years. Dialysis can be a very scary and intimidating environment for most people but Cathy works to make it a patient and staff-friendly environment. She makes connections with her patients and focuses on making them feel safe and in good hands. Cathy adapts to all situations and is extremely hard working no dust collects on her from sitting around. She is always willing to help her co-workers, assist with staff training, provide patient education, and completes her daily task required on the unit.

Cathy has participated in the Clinical Ladder for many years. She has provided support to the dialysis unit by tracking, recording, and monitoring patient’s vaccinations, training Unity dialysis staff on the new to them, EMR system, and working tirelessly, putting in extra hours to support several of the RRH Dialysis units. This was strongly evident during the COVID pandemic. She worked countless hours to help us ensure safe dialysis staffing for our patients. She is flexible and willing to work at the different RRH dialysis units when needed. She is one of the few staff members who is cross-trained in all the RRH dialysis units. She is great with new staff and strives to educate them on the differences in Dialysis nursing.

There is not one single situation that stands out because Cathy gives it her all every day.
