I would like to nominate an Extraordinary Nurse who consistently demonstrates kindness and compassionate care to our patients and their families. It is always such a pleasure to work with Katelyn as she is very team-oriented and dependable, operating with a passion for healthcare and professionalism.

As a nurse leader, I routinely check on our patients to ensure their needs are being met and answer any questions they may have. Katelyn’s patients always comment on the wonderful and knowledgeable care they are receiving. She effortlessly develops a rapport with her patients and their families. She takes time to do simple things that may not seem like much but mean the world to someone who is in the hospital. Taking time to sit with patients, answer questions and comfort them in times of need when they find themselves in vulnerable spots in the ER. This carries over into the additional attributes of patience and respect that this nurse carries. We deal with many behavioral health patients in the ED and Katelyn is always very patent and respectful of their situation. She is able to earn trust and make sure their stay is as comfortable as possible.
