Her nursing skills coupled with her enthusiasm for nursing make her an excellent mentor to help build the frontline nurses of tomorrow.
Dr. Labriola embodies a passion for nursing education and the future of nursing. She has been a nurse at Holy Name for over 40 years and a nurse educator for the Holy Name Sister Claire Tynan School of Nursing for over 20 years. She fosters a compassionate learning environment through her engaging lecture presentations where she immerses students into the clinical scenario. She makes learning stimulating exciting and fun as she builds their blossoming clinical judgment skills.
As a clinical instructor, she works alongside her students guiding their clinical practice in a caring and supportive environment. Clinical and lecture evaluations indicate she is a caring professional knowledgeable and a rock star when it comes to clinical practice. Kathy has fostered the development of critical thinking and clinical judgment in her students by designing NCLEX Next Generation classroom scenarios that place the student in real-life clinical situations challenging them to come up with practice decisions.
It is easy to see that Kathy enjoys teaching and developing a spirit of inquiry in students taking them to levels they never imagined they could achieve. Her nursing skills coupled with her enthusiasm for nursing make her an excellent mentor to help build the frontline nurses of tomorrow. She has a natural way of bringing clinical concepts to life in the classroom helping students to fully grasp and understand difficult and challenging clinical situations.
Kathy is well respected within the Holy Name community and the School of Nursing. She is a leader and collaborator through her work on several School of Nursing committees. She chairs both the Library and Evaluation committees and also serves on the Holy Name Nurse Resident Advisory Board. Her dedication to the organization school and students is evident in the many hours she puts in at the school advising and mentoring students.
She fosters interprofessional communication skills in her students through her professional attitudes and behaviors in both the classroom and clinical setting. She is a true role model for students and young nurses entering professional practice. Kathy achieved her Doctor of Education in Curriculum and continues to grow in her profession by attending relevant professional development activities. She strives to provide her students with relevant meaningful and evidence-based education to build their professional identities as future nurses. It is with great pleasure and pride that I nominate Dr. Labriola for the NJLN DAISY Nurse Leader Award for Nursing Clinical Educators.
