Karen's dedication to the 4th floor is beyond compare. She shares her knowledge, skills and time generously as well as her vast library of fun, obscure facts. Karen is honest and straightforward; giving advice and "Kenzo" attitude whenever needed. Karen is available to all of us, day or night and never misses an opportunity to teach. She is pro-nursing, empowering all of us to strive for more and make positive changes. Karen has a unique ability to see what others may miss; a new face with wide eyes and a panicked look, an experienced nurse looking weary, a PCA feeling frustrated and a glassy eyed monitor tech needing a break. She will never just walk by. She will stop, have a conversation and leave having made a difference. What Karen brings to this floor, this facility and the nursing profession is priceless.
