I would label this student as a role model to many. She is well known for her eagerness in clinical, having compassion, and energy. She is always courteous and helpful to others. She is highly respected by her peers and appreciated by her patients because of the way she treats others. This student can adapt her plan of care to include and meet the age-specific and cultural needs of her patients. She is a realist as well as being able to see positive in patients who are the sickest of sick. She values sitting in a position where she can have a strong voice for coworkers, and student nurses and advocate for improvement within themselves during this journey.

Katie has been a full-time employee for a local EMT company throughout her journey to pursue her RN degree. She cares for patients and family members with respect and dignity and is a great asset to not only SUNY Broome Nursing Program but also to her local community.
