Our Team Member of the Month (TMOM) award is our way of recognizing and celebrating exemplary and outstanding staff doing great things for patients, patient families, team members and our entire hospital. The announcement of our TMOM is always one of the month’s top highlights.
Our TMOM spotlight today is on Katie, an RN and patient care leader in our ICU! Among patient care leaders' responsibilities are supervision, mentoring and education of nurses, helping to coordinate bedside patient care and ensuring that a nursing unit runs smoothly.
Katie has much experience and is extremely knowledgeable about adult ICU care. She has much expertise and excels with patients having complex conditions.
The stress level in an ICU can be very high but Katie exemplifies the 4 C's – calm, cool, collected and composed, important and valued traits in the ICU.
Katie has patience and is a great listener and communicator when interacting with her teammates. Her personality and character creates an environment of acceptance and open communication.
From Katie’s TMOM nomination documents: “Katie is very driven to do what is best for patients and families, asking the questions of ‘what if we do this’ and ‘what if we try this.’ She can be seen thinking outside of the box. This professional leadership and drive is greatly appreciated by many team members here at St. Joseph’s Hospital-South. She demonstrates BayCare values and is the example of the ‘BayCare Effect.’”
Congratulations Katie on the TMOM and for your leadership and for being a cornerstone of support in our ICU!
