Mary Lou Moore, MSN, RN, CCRN, nurse manager on Tower 12, this week was named BWH’s director of Cardiovascular Nursing and Clinical Services. Moore, who joined BWH as nurse manager for the cardiology unit and cardioversion program, will begin in her new role Oct. 16.
“Mary Lou is well known throughout BWH for creating, collaborating with and leading interdisciplinary teams to improve care and deliver it to our patients and their families,” Mairead Hickey, PhD, RN, chief nursing office and senior vice president of Patient Care Services, said.
Hickey said that Moore will play a key role in transitioning cardiovascular services from the Tower to the Carl J. and Ruth Shapiro Cardiovascular Center. Already, Moore has played an important role in planning for the new facility.
On Tower 12, she is known for developing and implementing programs, such as Compassionate Care Rounds and Compassionate Care Intensive meetings, that provide encouragement and support for nursing staff who care for critically ill patients.
Earlier this year Moore, who joined BWH in 1999, was named an Excellent Nurse Manager by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN). The Tower 12 nurses in-charge had nominated Moore for the award, which goes to nurse managers who exemplify the AACN’s vision of ethical care and make education a high priority for clinical nurses. In 2004, Moore was named a Dennis Thomson Compassionate Care scholar.
Moore received a diploma from Wilkes-Barre General Hospital in Pennsylvania and earned a bachelor of science from Emmanuel College in Boston. She later received an MSN in cardiopulmonary nursing from the Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of Health Professionals.
