Cinda provides compassionate care to the patients and families she serves, as well as her co-workers. She utilizes great communication in a multi-disciplinary pre-op area. Cinda is quick to anticipate needs and is proactive in her assessments and nursing care. She takes time with her patients to hear their stories and advocate. Her nursing skills, critical thinking, and evidence-based practice are all utilized in her role. She continues to gain knowledge and expertise in the area of peri-op nursing by her involvement in ASPAN. She does all of this with a positive attitude, a great sense of humor, and a smile (behind her mask).
