Tina Cerruti, RN, BSN
Tina Cerruti’s passion for volunteerism and desire to contribute to the medical profession began in high school when she volunteered for the local community hospital as an inpatient nurse’s helper.
In that role, she discovered the tremendous rewards in providing care and comfort to people dealing with hospitalization and various medical concerns. During her 30-year career as an RN, she has worked in medical and surgical intensive care as well as cardiac care, and has been active in advancing the role of nurses through various medical networks and through her involvement with the California Nurses Association. She is committed to bringing greater public awareness to the concept of patient’s rights and to recognition of the nurse’s role as a patient advocate.
Her work with ReSurge began over 10 years ago as an international surgical team volunteer. She spends two weeks each year helping to provide reconstructive surgery and medical care to underprivileged children and adults in developing countries, and is currently a member of the Interplast Nursing Committee.
