Christen Krouse

The first night Christen was introduced to me as my nurse I felt like I knew her as a friend for years. She has a very easy personality to like, friendly but confident in her profession. She asked me what I needed that night that would make me feel more at home, I told her that I had not had a soda for months; she said that she would see what she could do. An hour later she came in the room and said "guess what, I found a Pepsi in the break room" and would I like it on ice. It might sound trivial to you, but to me it made my night! I shared some Reese's cups with her as we talked about our favorite late night TV show, it was the same "Adult Swim"! 

She was very informative about all the procedures and meds she was administering. I looked forward to having her as my nurse every night! 

One of the things about this period in time, I was dealing with the choice of keeping my right leg or having it amputated and Christen knew that I was going through this tough time. Christen did all she could to keep me happy and keep my mind from getting too depressed. But when I had questions she was always there with wise answers about amputation. After the surgery she was very helpful in keeping me comfortable! She is a great nurse!
