Collen has repetitively shown caring, respect and professionalism while working with me and my care. Collen has taken the time to involve herself in my case and has gone out of her way to work with other members of my healthcare team and to make sure the care I have is the best possible. Additionally, Collen is friendly and welcoming to my family and visitors and a great communicator.

There are not enough words to describe Collen. She is an awesome nurse. I think of her as someone that is very caring, gentle and someone that takes her job seriously. She is always making sure I am comfortable and make sure I'm out of pain as best she can. She is a gift from God to this hospital and to the patients, thank you!

Collen is the 1 North UPC chair, attends PNC, quality council and is an active voice on the unit. Collen is especially appreciated by her peers for mentoring and teaching all about Oncology/ Nephrology patients. Multiple new hire RN's have noted Collen's willingness to help get them familiar with the 1 North patient population. Collen doesn't hesitate to go to ICU or other departments to help with peritoneal dialysis or port accessing.
