She truly has been prolific in the projects that she has created, been involved with, or helped guide only for the benefit of others and her interest in it.
Cathrine Abbate is the model nurse that all nurses should strive to be. Not only does she possess exemplary nursing skills, but she is one of the kindest, big-hearted individual that everyone should have the pleasure of coming across. The positive energy she radiates makes the patients she takes care of rave about her. Cathrine’s energy and sense of humor is infectious, as is the warm, amiable demeanor she displays.
Cathrine is someone who always go out of her way to help a fellow staff member. She is always ready to help staff, whether it is staying late or helping on a day off. She will also mentor nurses and share her extensive nursing knowledge with staff. Working with Cathrine makes the most challenging days more tolerable, knowing that she is in your corner to lend a hand. She is integral member of the Home Hospital Department especially with it being a new unit. She helped tremendously in navigating some of the ups and downs of creating a new unit and providing her leadership.
Not only is Cathrine a highly adept nurse, but she has been involved in a multitude of nursing projects. She truly has been prolific in the projects that she has created, been involved with, or helped guide only for the benefit of others and her interest in it. Cathrine was involved in an excellent clinical deterioration scale that was developed during the height of Covid and presented at a research conference. One of the most impressive parts of the project is it is implemented into Epic as a tool to screen patients. Cathrine recently led a Fall Project in Home Hospital and on her own accord did scheduling on Microsoft Excel for the unit. Cathrine is also involved in the NPAP Review Committee and has helped her fellow co-workers on NPAP projects.
To say the least, Cathrine is a hard worker and as soon as a project is complete she is moving on to another project to benefit the department she works in and her fellow co-workers. Cathrine is a humble individual who does not take credit for the massive amount of work she has put into her nursing career. Any nurse would be lucky to have the career she has had in nursing.
Cathrine deserves to be honored for the decades she has been working in health care. As a nurse of 37 years involved in writing this I believe Cathrine deserves to be illuminated in the same light as Florence Nightingale.
