I was in the hospital for 4 days following my surgery and Chris was my RN for 2 days. She was extremely kind, took the time to teach me how to take care of my surgical incisions and managed my pain so well. She took the time to listen and always answered my questions. She also helped me to manage the multiple visitors that came throughout my stay so I could rest. She was so friendly, professional, smart and kind.

Chris went above and beyond and gave exceptional care by advocating for her patient. The patient had a chronic illness with a left mastectomy. She had endured multiple IV sticks in her right arm and no venous access for several hours through the night. Chris recognized the patients need and called the Dr. for a PICC line order, and called the PICC RN to place the line. Chris ended up with a very happy patient. Way to go, Chris!

I have seen so many times how Chris interacts with her patients. She is so kind and attentive. She really cares for each one of them. No matter how many times they put on their call light. Chris refers to the patient as hers; she takes ownership of the patient's situation and is really great at patient advocacy. It does not matter who they are!
