I wanted to pass along what a patient said about Collette Moore when I rounded as a relief charge a couple of weeks ago. The patient was here for about a month and she spoke highly of all staff but loved having Collette as her nurse. The patient reported that she was homesick and lonely, and sad that her family could not visit because of COVID precautions. During one of the patient’s very painful wound Vac changes, Collette asked her whom she would have at her bedside if she could have a visitor, and the patient replied she would have her sister there. Collette then held the patient’s hand and said, "I’m your sister today," The patient began to cry and told me how much Collette’s gesture touched her heart. The patient stated that Collette is very compassionate and caring.

Collette is a remarkable nurse, and she exemplifies the VALUES of Kaiser Permanente Nursing. She provides EXCELLENT care, with INTEGRITY and COMPASSION; she is a TEAM player, extremely PROFESSIONAL, and keeps the PATIENT AND FAMILY IN THE CENTER of everything that she does. Collette truly is an Extraordinary Nurse.

Note: This is Collette's 4th DAISY Award!
