Note

Katheen E. Zavotsky RN:  "I was so excited to get my pin! I saw other colleagues wear it and my parents were so supportive and generous that they paid for the pin for me. It is very special to me and it reminds me everyday how lucky and proud I am to be a nurse!

I have been a nurse for almost 40 years and my experience has been primarily Critical Care and Emergency Department. I have a Master's and a PhD in Nursing and I am currently the System Senior Director of Nursing Research and Program Evaluation at NYU  Langone Health. I am honored to work with my staff from the Center for Innovations in the Advancement of Care (CIAC) and all of the nurses at NYU Langone Health."

Pin was photographed at the nursing pin event organized by the NYU Medical Archives at the 27th Annual Nursing Science Conference in 2024.  Photo Credit: Dane Giuffre.
