Hello! I’m Catherine Idigo, an excellent-nurse award winner, a compassionate registered nurse with more than 36 years of healthcare experience. In doing service to our families, productivity excellence is my focus and motivation. I have 21 years of inpatient behavioral health and addictions treatment experience, and a highly skillful compassionate nurse with a passion to care for seniors with respect and dignity. I have high level patient care experience which enhances cost-effective management of healthcare operations. In addition to exceptional nursing expertise, I am resourceful, adaptive, and self-directed with the ability to handle even the most challenging situations as a result of well-developed communication skills and organizational competence. Being a nurse in the United States and other parts of the world has enabled me to understand that every patient is an individual with a specific need, and should be taken care of as a person and not the disease.
