Christina Finizio

Christina is known for her compassionate care and helping hands. She exhibits how to form deep connections with patients, even in the most trying times. Her patience and demeanor help her provide the best care possible and create lasting impacts on her patients. Christina views patients as a story rather than a diagnosis. She takes the time to get to know each patient personally, which has led to discovering additional mental and physical health concerns on multiple occasions. Learning about her patients’ lives outside the hospital empowers her to advocate for her patients and makes her a more empathetic nurse. 
Christina says that she has come to realize that the extra minute with a patient can make a difference that is far beyond what she initially imagined when beginning nursing school.  By establishing a positive rapport with her patients, she has been able to provide better personalized care and advocate for them extensively. She believes this has ultimately made her a more effective and empathetic nurse.
