Catherine (Katie) received her DAISY Award nomination from one of her patients and student nurses and their instructor who had their clinical rotation on her unit. They all felt that Catherine makes special connections, serves as a role model, and creates an environment for learning:
"Katie made a difference by just being there."
"Catherine is such a great nurse—always extending herself to the student nurse and patients."
"Catherine is a great nurse, so caring and always willing to teach the students and made us feel like part of the team.
"She went out of her way to explain concepts to the students and sought opportunities for them."
