Crystal shows a natural inclination for compassion for her patients. She takes time to sit down with them and their families to not only discuss their medical needs and goals for progression but also to learn about them as people. This is a skill that cannot be taught. Crystal can multitask and leave time to provide undivided attention to her patients. So many patients just want to be heard. This small notion of asking where they grew up, asking about their life, and what they enjoy most are all examples of gaining trust by making patients feel human in a world that has made us feel so divided. Crystal is compassionate, and talented and demonstrates what nursing needs to be. She is always positive and looking for ways to improve care and the culture of nursing. She will be a huge building block in the foundation that will re-stabilize nursing practice.
