Rezena Aceret consistently meets the highest nursing standards through her impactful contributions to the patients of the Comprehensive Cancer Center at our Herrick Campus and through her selfless commitment to mentoring colleagues. Rezena's approach to nursing is multifaceted. She is a compassionate nurse who touches the lives of patients and their families, and she uniquely extends this compassion through the data and quality-improvement skills she uses to enhance patient care and operational efficiency.

A fellow staff nurse provided a testament to Rezena's mentorship:
"I recently went through the Clinical Ladder application, and with Rezena's mentorship, I was successfully promoted from Staff Nurse II to IV. Rezena was committed to meeting with me every week and even volunteered to meet with me in person to check my work. Through her clinical expertise, she was able to point me to valuable clinical resources that I was able to use in my application. She was direct and clear in giving feedback on areas that I needed to work on and gave encouragement on areas where I did really well."

Rezena’s supervisor added that she consistently demonstrates these qualities, acting as a role model and actively fostering professional development among her peers. She is frequently sought out by colleagues for guidance, reflecting the trust and respect she has earned through her expertise and generosity. This mentorship, coupled with her contributions to the Comprehensive Cancer Center, enhances our ability to deliver the highest quality of patient care.

Rezena truly embodies the spirit of extraordinary nursing.Thank you, Rezena, for all you do and continue to do for the patients at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center, putting patients first and people always!
