February 2024 Honoree
Kate E. Horrell, BSN, RN
Kaitlyn was my night nurse back in November when I had my son via emergency c-section. I was in a car accident that led my son to be born early, and Kaitlyn handled my anxiety and stress so well. I was not supposed to get out of bed, so I called Kaitlyn many times, wanting to see my son in view. I know I drove her crazy asking so many times, and her answer was the same: "I paged the trauma team." At 12:50 am, she came in and said, "I paged the team, and as long as your collar is on, you are good to go!!" I had tears in my eyes as she helped me up and got me in a wheelchair to go see my son. I could not thank her enough. My son passed the next day, and I could not help but think about how I felt when Kaitlyn did all she could so I could hold him that night. She probably doesn't know it, but she truly gave me the world that night.
Thank you, Kate E., for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
