CNL Spotlight
As a Clinical Nurse Leader, Kathleen works with interdisciplinary teams to create a plan of care for patients and process improvement within the trauma population. She values that she still has a “boot on the ground” by being bedside during rounds, which helps her to bring that experience into the process improvement aspect of my role. She told us that she loves trauma as it is a completely different world of nursing, and she makes it a priority to listen to the concerns of both patients and their families and advocate for them.
